If anyone's facing this in their auth flows, we're happy to help at https://clerk.dev

We're in the same cat-and-mouse game with the attackers as everyone else, but since we're an auth company, we have full-time folks monitoring for issues and resolving when they come up.

It's worth mentioning that Twilio is in an understandably tough position here. They only receive API requests from your server, and real requests look the same as attack requests except for the phone number.

Clerk is in a better position to help because our API accepts traffic directly from the attacker (e.g. POST /verify-phone-number). We know their IP, user agent, whether they're connecting from AWS, etc, etc. We very much rely on this data to help stop them.
