Defending against unwanted communications by striking back against the beneficiaries of the unwanted communications

摘要

Techniques for defense against unwanted communications by striking back against the beneficiaries of the unwanted communications include identifying a communication channel to a beneficiary of an unwanted communication and sending a communication via the communication channel to the beneficiary such that the communication imposes a cost to the beneficiary. The cost to the beneficiary may be used to deter further unwanted communication from the beneficiary.
