Re: I don’t remember the PSTN ever being attacked

It was attacked just differently I remember a call center in the 90s I was doing some work for getting deluged with junk calls (potentially) by their competitor so badly that they couldn't take any calls. Punters simply moved to the next company in the yellow pages that could answer the phone.

This would go on for days and ironically cost the call center as there main number was a freephone
