Robocall Contest; “DetectaRobo”

The Federal Trade Commission (``FTC'') announces an open source prize competition that challenges the public to analyze data from a robocall honeypot, thus improving honeypot design. A honeypot is an information system that is designed to attract perpetrators of illegal acts--in this case robocallers--and gain knowledge about their tactics. The Contest will be held during the National Day of Civic Hacking, from June 6-7, 2015.
