It is still ridiculously easy to spoof a number. I'm on Verizon with the enhanced caller ID, and it happens consistently on a weekly basis.


That's an issue with Verizon then. They should be able to see that the number is spoofed, as it will have a lower/lack of attestation from the originating carrier.

Stir shaken doesn't prevent spoofing but it lets terminating carriers validate that the number is legit before sending the call to their customer.

My old team implemented stir shaken for one of the large voip carriers.
