I built this tool that checks publicly available data against your phone number. I was surprised how one my numbers (which I text and sign up for services with) has a lot of information attached to it including my full name, all previous addresses, relatives, emails, and more.
No offense, but it's hard to know whether I should trust you with my phone number: your "about us" page 404s[1] and your CEO is a...founder of a bitcoin ATM company[2]? I can't even figure out what service you sell -- it looks like an MVNO but with some additional security promises?
> If you’re trading crypto, having a secure phone is as important as a hardware wallet.
It looks like this is targeted towards crypto whale hopefuls who, for whatever reason, store sizeable value in a hot wallet/CEX that's controllable using a phone number/SMS 2FA. The price point of $99/mo supports this hypothesis.
Honestly, not a bad idea. These people clearly have more money than sense.
Certainly Efani Secure Mobile only caters to a small group of high risk individuals. While crypto investors get more limelight due to high amounts being involved but politicians, finance executives and lawyers are a common target too.
Plus it's not $99/month on top of your plan but it replaces your current phone plan + gives $5M Insurance policy too. Our other plans are even higher but the security they provide isn't required by 99.9% of the population so we don't even mention them on the site
I don't mean to make too fine of a point from it; the combination of missing pages and slightly "off" formatting (mixed capitalization of the company name, other company logos embedded without rounding or blending) sets off my phishing alarm.
Why does your landing page say "100% guaranteed protection" and then follow it up "$5 million in insurance against losses due to SIM swaps"? It directly undermines the 100% claim.
I also have this question. My understanding of SIM porting (the legitimate form of swapping) is that it's basically impossible (and undesirable) to prevent if the originating network operator is convinced of the user's identity, which is why phishing is so effective.
It's just a specific set of procedures that we follow which are skipped by traditional carrier. Think of it as a boutique approach. Every carrier can frankly stop but it's not worth the effort for them due to scale they operate with and mass market they've to cater to
It's just a specific set of procedures that we follow which are skipped by traditional carrier
Are you able to go into detail about this without giving up proprietary/secret sauce? Asking as a former pbx engineer at a couple of CLECs who is intimately familiar with the LNP process.
Sure absolutely.
So about Sim Swap, if some one request we've an internal process to verify
- For external ports, a carrier can reject a port out . Just having the right info doesn't qualifies for automatic port out. Most of the companies do it due to FCC requirement of 4 hours. We've the resources to identify, reject and approve requests
Maybe you’re new to HN, but this response should’ve been numerous paragraphs long going into excruciating detail about what how exactly the guarantee works. Additionally, there are basic English typos in your response.. as CEO of a phone company, you want to come off more polished and “on the ball”, else you will have a difficult time building trust.
English is my 4th language, but this isn't an excuse for typos, so I'll be more careful.
So to answer the original question on how we can guarantee while other carriers are not. There are two common attacks to compromise your account.
Sim Swap & Port out
In Sim Swap, any employee person can replace the SIM Card without permission by changing the number on the dashboard. Every primary carrier SIM card is available online, so criminals buy 100s of them and then rent logins to change this information. These logins are available for as little as 10k from the dark web.
The port-out attack is when criminal changes your carrier, which requires your account #, Zip Code & PIN in a few cases. Other information can be fake, so it isn't required. Port out must be completed within hours, and carriers have automated the process.
So how does Efani guarantee against it? I've been a victim of SIM Swap and have dealt with hundreds of incidents. No one is perfect, but we're just better at dealing with such attacks.
We authenticate clients using multiple ways and treat every request as fraud. It isn't an automated process & even within the company, it's taken very seriously and has to be approved by multiple resources.
Our authentication methods include notary public and video authentication, and clients can also request a unique authentication process.
We employ US Citizens who're security cleared and don't outsource support or operations. A lot of our staff isn't public due to security reasons. They are well paid compared to regular CS staff and are well-trained against these attacks.
Our SIM cards are not publicly available, eliminating the risk of anyone obtaining them.
Information on the account is pseudonymized, so if a client has compromised himself, we're able to stop the impersonation.
Cool-off period - In case of high risk, we put a 14-day cool-off period to any request to ensure the client isn't compromised
We follow a few other methods in addition to the above and constantly. We've been able to stop all the attacks so far and are confident in our ability to deliver on the promise; Efani Secure Mobile is also securing clients with $5M Insurance. If you ever get compromised, you'll receive an apology, so we went beyond to ensure peace of mind.
Please let me know if further clarification is required.
I appreciate the response, however it is quite vague, and I'm not any closer to a conclusion than when I asked. Would a yes/no type of question get a more straight forward answer?
Have you had a user get swapped, yes or no?
Guarantee is a word that has weight to it, I'm not seeing anything substantiating a guarantee other than the claim. I'm trying to understand the spirit of its use in this context by asking this.
For a mobile carrier to prevent sim swapping assuming they themselves have good enough security policies, is trivial. Most people get sim swapped bc an insider rep sends a request to a local store, or a local store doesn't do their due diligence, or even more likely, that everyone involved is incompetent, overworked, and doesn't care.
The real service being sold here is the idea that in exchange for a premium, a company will train employees correctly and enforce strong security policies. which would be skipped by a normal telco because they want as much profit as possible off the top of your 30$ a month.
Yeah and that's exactly what we do. We do have enterprise and gov offering with advanced protection but general public isn't the right candidate for that .
No since inception, we had ZERO clients SIM swapped or ported out without authorization. We've a $5M Insurance policy just if incase but luckily never had to use it
At least few dozen and multiple cases where legal notices were sent to claim ownership of the numbers by 3rd parties such as spouses or hostile take over of exotic numbers
Company doing the SMS/phone verification can lookup to see if the number was recently ported is the only protection that I know. You used to be able go ping E911 location but they cracked down on selling that data.
E911 location tracking is still active unfortunately. We've came up with the solution through our premium offering Black Seal Protection but fairly limited to who we can sell it to
I gave it my "throw-away" number, after going through the text code validation it spit out a relatively high score, listed my carrier as Tmobile, "no associations" in all the categories and then sent a follow-up text "Thanks for letting us doxx you!"
Between that and a crypto bro founder / CEO this seems more like a pretext to harvest mobile numbers.
Agree wording could be improved. For number harvesting, there are probably thousands of databased out there with far more info for almost free. We made an attempt to create awareness on how important your number is as in too many identities attached to it and then vulnerability against SIM Swap
What are you actually trusting them with by entering your number? those details are already available in the database(s) they're querying, the only data you're giving them is that you're a phone number that reads hacker news.
This is not correct. A bad actor can find search for numbers a million ways (buy numbers that connect to a cell tower, search by birthdate, who responds to your spam, etc).
We are a cybersecurity company and our entire leadership team has a decent online presence. You can just look any of us up.
It's an additional data point. These databases tend to have low S/N ratios -- having a bunch of people put in known good numbers (since they're being confirmed with a text) allows a moderately invested consumer to confirm one of the identities believed to be linked to the phone number.
(My phone number is public, but it doesn't show up in any of these public DBs. I have no idea why.)
How are they confirming anything? They're literally just confirming that someone who clicked that link owns that number. I'm not sure how that's confirming an identity linked to the phone number. If I click that phone number and I have information in there for John Smith and Adam Jones how does this contribute to them knowing whether they're seeing John, Adam, or someone else?
Like I said, it's a data point. I don't think it fundamentally deanonymizes the number (not that it's even anonymous to begin with). Instead, it:
* Confirms that a number is a live subscriber;
* If there are N possible identities tied to the number, it strongly suggests that the most recent one is the "current" one;
* Links my phone number to a browser session, which provides further information.
Edit: It also fundamentally turns a passive source of information (a DB of phone numbers, of unknown quality) into an active one (people are actively confirming that some of these numbers are real and currently subscribed).
Hypothetically if your assumption is correct, this is the most expensive way to collect this information since there are dumps of data available on the dark web for pennies, while these queries are 100X more expensive.
Criminals are trading this information without your permission and exploiting it. We just wanted to create a tool to create awareness
Let's see, you got...my name, my spouse's name, my work email, my personal email, our birthdays, at least 5 of my former addresses, my whole driver's license history, where I went to college, where I went to high school, every company I've worked for, my mom's name, my parent's names, and my gender. That's more than I expected that you could get, wow.
One thing your site could do but doesn't is tell me WHERE it got that information, like exactly where. Why just say "publicly available data?" I want to know precisely where you got all this on me, with annotations. Without that information, this is just a scary page that encourages me to sign up for nebulous services.
Your suggestions are well taken. We should do a better job on the page however we're limited on what info to display & sources due to privacy laws and to prevent misuse
So you can display the private information, but you can't display where it came from due to privacy laws? Can you cite which privacy laws protect the source of the publicly available information?
I doubt it’s privacy laws and more likely the terms of service from their data broker. The data broker probably doesn’t allow it and if they reveal the source, they will be cut off.
Their source must be cheap enough to do stuff like this so it probably rules out DataAxle, Elsevier and Oracle.
At the moment data source is super expensive so we had to cap daily inquiries. We're not a data broker so have limitations around what can be displayed and what can't be. Hopefully, we're able to create an API that companies can integrate to help their clients be better at their number security
Having run a few background check websites where there was a data broker ... no they hate the attention. I got a visit from the FBI for using the name of their database ( we could show the results from the DB, but we could not use the name of it publicly) , which they updated on their website to say 'restricted' but did not email us or call us. This was early 2000's.
Edit: I said it wrong in the initial post the FBI visited for a different reason.
They thought I had 'hacked in'. My landlady at the time worked as a secretary at the FBI and misunderstood or did not know the data could be purchased legally through a third party, after I told her what I was doing at a dinner at their house which they invited me to.
I was extremely hung over when they came, I was 25, and did not at all believe they were agents I slammed the door on them (one of them had converse sneakers with their suits though). They slowly convinced me they were in fact legit, I showed them all the paperwork, and shut the site down due to caution. Gave me a good story to tell, ~2005.
We use a ton of sources. You can google data brokers and try some. But just because you find one and get them to remove the info, doesn't mean it is gone.
There are dozens of data brokers if not less and you can google for them. There are dozens of data removal companies too. It's probably a billion dollar industry trading your personal info. We're neither a data broker not a data removal. We're in business of securing Mobile numbers and our goal was to create awareness and help people make informed decision about their mobile number security.
We'll have to acquire different set of licenses if we ever have to step into these industries.
Would be nice to know which suspected data brokers are used to gather this information, in order to send them CCPA deletion requests.
I've previously spent some time manually sending CCPA deletion requests to a variety of data brokers, and I've even tried two paid services. I know the effort is pyrrhic, and there's probably no way to remove all the information.
Pretty good. I entered an old Google Voice number I haven't used in a while, and it correctly listed all of my addresses back to my early childhood, what I minored in in college, and the pseudonym I use on Facebook.
The "doxx me score" gauge is cheesy, and I have a negative reaction toward seeing those from disreputable banner ads around the internet.
It's not clear to me how the service you are selling (SIM swapping protection) and the privacy report are related.
Do you want to clarify what data you are recording as part of offering this service?
> We only retain collected information for as long as necessary to provide you with your requested service. What data we store, we’ll protect within commercially acceptable means to prevent loss and theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification.
What services are you getting the information from?
No thanks. This kind of thing should be something open source and/or have published, manually repeatable processes. Sending my phone number to a random place associated with my ip/device/referrer/etc is just bad practice akin to asking for my passwords to evaluate their strength. Especially when it's offered by an entity that has an interest in monetizing 'protection'
You don't currently have my data unless you have all data. Once I use your service, you'll have it. If you want to build goodwill, supply the methodology to enable the people who want to do this themselves.
By providing a phone number, I don’t know if I’m helping build out their dataset, and I don’t know how that data will be used, secured, or sold in the future. Even if they have the data, simply asking for it can give a signal that this data isn’t stale - the number is likely live and owned by an individual.
It's purely going to multiple data brokers and paying them to give you the info that they've on you. You can search for data brokers and hundreds of them will appear. Our goal is to create awareness around number security and it's linked to our identity
I understand your concern but we are limited by current privacy laws (for good reason in my opinion). I doubt we will build goodwill by showing everyone how to view unredacted information.
Our license. We're not a data broker and we want to be cautious so the information isn't abused. Like taking some one phone and then using it for few min to acquire the info
Having given them my number, I’m unsure if they have a lot of raw data. The results come back like “JXXX SXXXX” instead of “JOHN SMITH”. Maybe they have all the data and are obfuscating to prevent misuse, or maybe thats all the data they get back from the broker since this is a free search.
Having Googled my phone number many times, Doxx Me is returning similar results that a bunch of paywalled “people search” websites show as a free preview.
I don’t personally think it matters what Doxx Me does since this data is out there being used without my permission all of the time, and they certainly didn’t collect it.
We are not a data broker company. We simply pay data brokers per click. It's a loss leader for us and goal is to improve our number scoring criteria and create awareness on how numbers are linked to our identity & how vulnerable they're
I tried it with both of my numbers and there was a lot of information, but only half of it seemed to be accurate.
Some of it was from family members who were apparently conflated with me, and some of it didn't ring any bells at all.
It had all of my recent addresses, and many more that I had never heard of, including cities I've only visited once or twice and two countries I've never been to in my life.
One phone number had 4 SSN's associated with it, and while the site doesn't show you the actual digits of the SSN, it does say the state it was issued in. All 4 were from different states, and none were from the state I was actually born in.
I assume a good amount of the incorrect data comes from tying people together based on shared addresses. For some addresses I have, like when I was in the military, there are probably a bunch of people who had the same address over a relatively short period.
So what’s your privacy policy?I imagine collecting a list of HN phone numbers, especially ones you can link to names and addresses, is pretty valuable.
Are you going to use these data or sell these data?
There are millions of such databases available with much more info. Our goal is to educate people on how our mobile numbers are vulnerable to SIM Swap and how important are number from identify point of view. Our business model is Secure Mobile Subscription.
If any one finds a need to protect their number, they'll upgrade their carrier to Efani Secure Mobile. We don't sell client data and only make money off the difference carriers charge us minus what client pays us.
Each of these queries cost us $, so we'll be able to calculate the CaC. One day, we may be able to be a standard for this tool to be used in OpSec where a number can't be added as 2FA if it's below a specific score
> One day, we may be able to be a standard for this tool to be used in OpSec where a number can't be added as 2FA if it's below a specific score.
The world would sooner switch completely off of SIM-baswed 2fa instead of such a roundabout solution. We already have alternatives, and there is already a push against using SIM-based auth.
Why are names, emails, and addresses redacted/censored? There are a bunch of names and addresses attached to my phone number that belong to someone that isn't me. I've had this phone number for over a decade.
Could you elaborate a bit on the data sources and how the privacy laws affect them? I'm curious how the data can be publicly available to you but compiling a profile on someone with that data and disclosing it might not be.
In short, there are laws on data resellers vs data brokers. Data resellers can provide uncensored data and their sources but there are many more hoops for them to jump through in terms of who sees that. We would have to do due diligence into every person using our tool in that case.
That's fascinating, thanks! It's bizarre how giving one person's information to another person is a big deal, but giving millions of people's information to a company is totally fine.
PSA - If you have a Discover credit card, they provide privacy protection and data removal services for free. They do scheduled scan and also submit data removal requests on your behalf.
I have used it and the service found several sites with my information. They automatically submitted data removal request and confirmed the removal as well.
I think they automatically run the tool every quarter and there will be new locations with my data. So, it's a continuous process.
1. Privacy laws dictate we can't point people at uncensored data.
2. We are a cybersecurity company. We don't want to show people how to hack others.
3. It would lend to the common belief that there is one source of data that you can simply delete or opt out of. There are hundreds of companies, databases, and sources with this information copied.
This is just plainly not true. MB at IntelTechniques publishes one of the best known removal workbooks in the industry. There's no reason you can't do the same to teach people who to contact to remove their data. See https://inteltechniques.com/workbook.html
There is nothing stopping you from doing the same.
We have $5 million insurance in the case that someone does get SIM Swapped which we have prevented so far.
Have you considered our cybersecurity company might have made this tool and provided it for free because it is good helpful to our target customers and might even help some customers find us?
Because that is what this is. Not data harvesting. We make money on our phone plan.
Simply put, your security is NOT impenetrable. And I would heartily and easily say that your security is not up to NatSec minimums. And hell, they can't even keep their tools and data from leaking out.
You know, EternalBlue and goodies? Or how about the OMB hack. still sour about that one.
> Have you considered our cybersecurity company might have made this tool and provided it for free because it is good helpful to our target customers and might even help some customers find us?
Or you're harvesting legit HN users. Companies don't do stuff for free. There's always a reason. ALWAYS. And market research of real humans intersecting with HN is a very lucrative datasource.
That link isn't in the footer of the page you posted, and the help chat covers the link on page load when present on mobile.
Also, reading the privacy policy, it looks lacking. I'm not a lawyer, but https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/what-to-include-in-y... clearly states that if your service sends text messages, you should make a statement about retaining that data indefinitely.
After reviewing the privacy policy, and seeing who else is involved in the company, no thanks. Seems very non professional.
It's not about the privacy policy itself, it's about the company having one that's suitable. I understand where you're coming from, but there are additional red flags to be drawn from beyond that.
in bankruptcy courts, everything is pretty much thrown out and yes every company can update their ToS. For Efani Secure Mobile, we clearly tell how we make money. If the goal was to harvest the data, service could be super cheap to get people in and then make money off it
We make money by selling to you rather than selling you
What are the data sources for this? I'm curious because it returns a lot of garbage for me with a few real results mixed in, and I want to know which things to throw more garbage at.
Anyone here want to write a mini-tutorial on how to pollute this data? I assume it's impossible to remove any of it, but it would be nice to poison it at least.
There are multiple guides around it and you can email every data broker company . Most of them are obliged to remove it but then there may be another hack and the data is again back in the market. There are few companies offering solutions and you can search for them. Some of them are listed on the page
I'm not going to reveal the phone number used, but I can verify that some of the information it returned was incorrect.
...Looking closer at the report now, all fields which returned information were wrong. Perhaps it's returning info based on previous customers who have used the number?
Points to consider:
1) This was not my primary phone number. It's possible that a lack of activity used on the phone I tested this with made it seem like a previous owner was still the active owner? Perhaps if the service is grabbing very outdated information, there should be an indicator next to each result "Older than # of (time)".
2) A low score is red...does this mean that a low score mean that a lot of information was returned? Comparing this "doxx" to a credit card score is confusing, because a credit score is generally low because you have a lack of history. With this, your score is low because you have a lot of history. It's weird. Maybe low results should = green, with a low score; high results = red, with a high score. I see "high score" to mean "high data points".
3) Not every field was filled out for this number, but my score was deep in the red. What is the circumstance where a phone number lands in the middle? I suppose some fields might be weighted higher than others?
Edit:
(Pet peeve of mine. This isn't a personal slam against the company, just a criticism against the practice in general.)
I see you have one of those chat widgets in the bottom right. If a customer uses that, and doesn't get a response immediately, it's pointless and taking up space. If I want to send an email, I want the email address listed clearly on the contact page. A roundabout way through a psudeo-clippy thing stinks.
Good suggestion about the email. So you're suggesting we shouldn't ask for email at all. I'll certainly bring it to next meeting.
- Fields are obscured due to privacy laws and to prevent abuse
- Score is based on SIM Swap as in how easy is to SIM Swap and likely hood of some one attempting to do it like if you're a good candidate to attempt a sim swap on. It is based on ROI for a criminal
- Previous owner info could be attached or some one may have used your number some where randomly
Some notes to developer:
1. it was never mentioned that the number must be from United States. You'd better add a client-side check BEFORE sending data to server
2. does this page purposefully disable right-click when number is entered?
3. embedded youtube iframe shows captcha page :D
4. as always, cloudflare gives a bit of trouble over tor (and not only)
I've found the approach to privacy to be extremely different in my country and the US - people don't see any issue with pasting their identities, linking them to DNA tests and so on.
For #1 - That's what Efani Secure Mobile does. For #2 - we've listed few services but you can also email all the data brokers and they'll delete the info. You can also hire firms which do this by charging a subscription
We put 2 options up - them or My Data Removal. Elsewhere online people seem to have an overall good experience with Privacy Bee. I do not think they are a scam or fake company no.
My Data Removal is cheaper so might be more worth it
My report had an old work address listed. Not sure how that could've happened except that I had to have a background check performed while I was already there, and listed the work address as my address.
There was also an associated phone number that I only ever used on my credit card accounts. Hmm.
Visa and Mastercard used to sell data on credit card purchases until a law was passed in the last decade. That information will forever be connected. To this day you can purchase phone numbers that connected to certain cell towers.
I thought it was pretty neat - not much info on my number.
Here are how results are displayed if someone doesn't want to search their number:

"Associated Names" is the city and province i reside in, and the carrier is more or less accurate. Both things i wouldn't expect to be able to keep secret without extreme effort.
Oh man, mine was actually kind of alarming. It even told me my SSN was issued in California. All the info looked accurate except for an "associated address" in Ohio that I don't recognize.
What are you doing with the information gathered from this service? Will phone numbers that are verified active by the text verification on this service be sent back to the data broker you're using?
I'm puzzled by all the complaints that this isn't public information. Where do you think they got it? (I guess the actual question is what do you think "public" means?)
So while some of my info was there, there was DRASTICALLY more data listed that has nothing to do with me. I've had this phone number since ~2001, any idea why that would happen?
The scoring model is based on how likely you are to be targeted and hacked. Multiple points of data make it exponentially easier to do successfully. So just one address is not always the worst thing. Having tons of data on your phone (even if some of it is inaccurate) may also make you more of a target.
I tried it. And one of the most interesting things it did was list a location that I use when we are running our GPS simulator for testing. My phone has received our signal in the lab (it’s a shielded room) and apparently they location data was somehow associated with my number. It’s just a random town in Ohio…a place I’ve never been to.
It appears to be broken for me. When I verify my number it shows the gathering information page for a second with the loading bar moving, then it just redirects me to the home page. I've tried in both Firefox and Chrome. I did get texts afterward saying "Thanks for letting us Doxx you" but I never got to see any results.
Apologies for that you can email me directly james@efani.com or use our live chat and sort out what the issue is. Otherwise try again on a different browser?
I got a bellow average score (455) which explains the high numbers of scam calls and texts I get daily. The interest thing is that out of all this info that can be found through my number there was not a single piece of information related to me. I think this is because my phone number was recycled.
Not sure how old the number is. I have gotten calls asking for someone else, but I assume it is just a wrong number kinda situation. There are 3 different birthdays associated with the number, 1 ssn, and 6 names.
You do not support a way to keep my old number and start using a number that isn't associated with me, so I don't see how the doxx report is related to your offering outside of showing others who know those details can find my number which I consider public info.
Yeah, that's pretty crazy. I'd need to know more about how the service works to consider signing up for it.
I'd consider paying for a more detailed report that explains not just what can be found, but HOW that data was found, and remediation options beyond the mobile service plan.
This data is copied and combined by hundreds of data broker companies, you can google around. Trying to remove the data is pretty futile, but our service prevents the damage that can be done by finding this information.
I have a ton of non-correlated data and have no idea why, but then I realized. I frequently use services like textnow, which link me to phone numbers temporarily, which are often reassigned. As a result, it currently thinks for the most part that I am 12 different people. LOL.
I do not know what their legal team has advised them. Pretty interesting how most of these sites who show you unredacted information seem to be run by people with no internet presence and stock images though.
How long is this data stored if you don't respond "YES"? I entered a number I just got yesterday and it comes with a pile of random combined people's data that aren't me.
Took a risk and used it, like other people here.
Then I saw the price for what they are selling. $100 a month?! Wow! Isn't there some other way to lock down this info?
Efani Secure Mobile doesn't delete info. We're a Secure Mobile Service which is $99/month. Goal of this is to create awareness on how easy is to SIM Swap or get into your mobile account
We use data broker APIs. Most of them could be found through simple google search. Not every data broker has all the info so it may be a combination of multiple. I know this request has came multiple times but it's hard to tell exact source without specifically looking into individual case
Nice. I see a bunch of data points for people who aren't me, and none for myself. So my plan is to do nothing and interpret my number's low score as a high score.
I don't believe that you're only using publicly available data. What are your sources? It should not be legal to store all this information tied to only a phone number that just anyone can look up publicly online.
You can lookup a surprisingly large amount of information about a person online.
Had this guy who decided to use my Gmail address for stuff and I ended up finding his phone number online to text him that is wasn’t his email address. After the failed attempt send him a yard gnome after I reset his Walmart password and was thwarted by the security code on the back of credit cards. I still think he would have been a good gnome owner.
We're a MVNO so we effectively are your carrier. In an event of request of SIM Swap, we follow a very specific set of procedures to eliminate any fraudulent attempt.
A voter registry search requires name, date of birth, and zip code.
This is just your phone number. The thing you give out to people you just met. What the secure app signal requires for signup. And what spammers seem to always be able to find.
