๐Ÿ“ฑ๐Ÿ”ฅ PHONE API: Enhanced Disposable Detection ๐Ÿ“ฑ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Weโ€™ve just released an upgrade to our disposable phone number detection! ๐Ÿ“ฑ

๐Ÿš€ Key Highlights:

Weโ€™ve expanded the list of disposable providers we monitor to an impressive 28!! ๐Ÿ˜ฒ๐Ÿ˜ฒ

As the phone numbers found on public websites are only the "tip of the iceberg" ๐ŸงŠ, for some providers weโ€™re farming post-login phone numbers, where the real databases sits.

๐Ÿ”ฅ List of Disposable Providers Now Monitored:

  • tempnumber.com
  • tempsmss.com
  • online_sim (post-login ๐Ÿ”ฅ)
  • grizzly_sms (post-login ๐Ÿ”ฅ)
  • sms_activation_service (post-login ๐Ÿ”ฅ)
  • sms_man (post-login ๐Ÿ”ฅ)

and many others!


This enhancement significantly improves our detection capabilities, making your experience more secure and reliable.


๐Ÿš€ EMAIL API: Domain Intelligence Signals

As we continue to advance toward the release of our Domain Intelligence product, we're excited to announce the completion of a new package of signals! These signals provide valuable insights into the quality of a domain, currently associated with our email product.

๐ŸŒ New Domain Signals:

  • Number of emails found on the domain: Get insights into the number of emails associated with a domain.
  • Number of images found on the domain: Understand the visual content presence.
  • Number of internal and external links: Measure how connected a domain is both internally and externally.
  • Page size: Gain visibility into the size of the domain's web pages.

๐Ÿ” Patterns Indicating a Parked Domain ๐Ÿ˜ฒ:

We've also identified some patterns that might suggest a parked domain, such as:

  • Small page size with no internal links.
  • Exactly 1 internal and 1 external link, with no emails or images present.

๐Ÿ”๐ŸŽ‰ Improved Feature: Data Breaches Information ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ”

We are excited to announce a major upgrade to our Data Breaches section!

This integration has allowed us to significantly expand our data catalog, making our breach information even more detailed and useful.

๐Ÿš€ What's New?

Previously, we displayed a list of data breaches with basic information such as the breach name and general data. Our catalog has been enhanced to include detailed information found within each breach. This update specifically focuses on:

  • Names
  • Email addresses
  • Phone numbers


๐Ÿ•ต๏ธโ€โ™‚๏ธ Expanded Details in the Dashboard:

  • Breach Date: See when the breach occurred for better context.
  • Description: Each breach now includes a detailed description to help you understand the nature and source of the breach.

Look for the ๐Ÿ” sign in the data breach list to explore all the detailed information we've collected!


๐Ÿ“Š Aggregate Data Display:

We now collect and display all names, emails, and phone numbers from all breaches and show them in aggregate. For each element, a counter indicates how many times that element has been found across breaches, helping you assess relevancy when multiple elements are involved.

Check out our PHONE API Documentation & EMAIL API Documentation for more info about these signals!


๐Ÿ“ฑ๐Ÿ”PHONE API: Additional Data for Telegram ๐Ÿ“ฑ๐Ÿ”

We recently released some new data points for the Telegram crawler!! ๐Ÿ˜ฒ
The new data points include:

  • first_name (string): Will indicate the first name registered on the Telegram profile page
  • last_name (string): Will indicate the last name registered onin the Telegram profile page
  • username (string): Will indicate the username registered in the Telegram profile page

"phone":{
    "telegram_first_name": "Tony",
    "telegram_last_name": "Stark",
    "telegram_username": "Iron",
  ...
}

With this new information, we plan to further improve our name-to-phone capability and enhance the accuracy of name matching. ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ’ผโžก๏ธโฌ…๏ธ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ’ผ

๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ“Š CLOUD PLATFORM: Advanced Filters ๐Ÿ“Š๐Ÿš€

We are excited to introduce a powerful new functionality in our cloud dashboard that allows customers to apply advanced filters on a wide range of product fields.

Currently, you can filter using more than 40 different fields, including:

๐Ÿ“ฑ Disposable phone and โœ‰๏ธ email status
๐Ÿข Mobile network operator
๐Ÿ”„ Number portability
๐Ÿ“Š Score cluster
๐Ÿ”— Connected accounts
๐ŸŒ Country (derived from IP or other data sources)
๐Ÿ“ง Business or free email address

...and many more!



๐Ÿ”‘ Key Highlights:

Advanced Filtering: ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Apply a wide range of signals to filter your customer list, making it easy to focus on the most relevant users.
Faceted Search Engine: ๐Ÿ” Our powerful faceted search engine gives you instant visibility into the number of users matching specific configurations (e.g., Good: 200 users, Moderate: 175 users).


๐Ÿ”ฎ Whatโ€™s Next?

In the future, users will be able to:

  • ๐Ÿ“ค Use these advanced filters to create custom exports.
  • ๐Ÿ“Š Apply filter configurations as custom rules within their own models.


โœจ๐Ÿ“Š CLOUD PLATFORM: AI Rule Recommendations ๐Ÿ“Šโœจ

We are excited to announce a powerful enhancement to our Insights section: Recommendations! ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™‚๏ธ

๐Ÿ”ฎ Whatโ€™s New?

With this new feature, after uploading a performance file (a file containing OK/KO labels), the system will run multiple simulations of your production model. The AI simulation will then generate a list of proposed changes to your model, which may include:

  • New rules: Recommendations for additional rules to improve accuracy.
  • Edits: Adjustments to existing rules for better performance.
  • Removals: Suggestions to remove rules that may no longer be effective.

Currently, these suggestions are in view-only mode, meaning you can review them but will need to manually apply any changes to the model through the Models section.


Why is this Important?

This feature is particularly beneficial during the POC (Proof of Concept) phase, as it demonstrates how our models can be optimized and tailored to produce more accurate results than your baseline. You get a clear view of how improvements can be made, paving the way for better outcomes.

๐Ÿ”ฎ Whatโ€™s Next?

In the next iteration, these recommendations will be actionable directly from the Insights section, with an "Apply" or "Apply All" button, allowing for quick and easy implementation of suggested changes. Stay tuned for this exciting update!
