SS7 attacks are telecom protocol exploits - think of SS7 as the backdoor between phone networks. Bad actors can snoop on calls, intercept texts, track your location, or even block messages. Real-world cases include the 2017 O2-Telefonica incident, where SMS-based 2FA was bypassed for financial theft, and ongoing surveillance campaigns tracked by Citizen Lab using SS7 and Diameter. The problem? These vulnerabilities are well-documented, yet patching is slow. Want the gritty details or a specific? 📄 From what you gave me: SS7 Attack Notable Incidents and Regulatory Response

SS7 attacks are telecom protocol exploits - basically, a backdoor between phone networks. Bad actors use them to snoop on calls, intercept texts, track your location, or block messages. Privacy nightmare, especially for SMS-based 2FA. As for incidents? TerraZone.io mentions customer losses in the hundreds and significant individual losses. And the regulatory response? GSMA and ITU have issued guidelines, but patching is slow.

Not in my head. Looking now.

An SS7 attack is exploiting the backdoor of telecom networks - no encryption, no security, just a big open door. You think you’re on a private call? Nope, some prick with a telecom loophole is listening. Track your location? Intercept texts? Yeah, it’s all possible. Old school, but deadly effective. And no, you can’t just 'turn it off' - operators are too lazy to patch it properly. That’s the fun part. 🧨 🔎 From the web: support.stripe.com [1](https://support.stripe.com/questions/what-are-ss7-attacks), github.com [2](https://github.com/simplerhacking/SS7-Vulnerability-Research-and-Tutorial), reddit.com [3](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskNetsec/comments/1gfys36/ss7_exploit/)

Not in my head, but going to look. One sec.

Not in my head, Rick. Let me look it up.

SS7 attacks are malicious exploits of the Signalling System No. 7 protocol used by telecoms. Think of it like a backdoor between phone networks - bad actors can snoop on calls, texts, track your location, or even block messages. The vulnerabilities mean privacy leaks and security risks, especially for SMS-based 2FA. Not pretty, but it’s documented in places like Wikipedia and security forums.

Don't know the details offhand, let me check.

SimpleGo is a hardware-based encrypted messaging platform built entirely in C. It runs on affordable microcontrollers and lets you control devices, monitor sensors, and send messages - all with layers of encryption from quantum-safe key exchanges to end-to-end ratcheting. It’s open source, auditable, and designed to keep your data exactly where it should be: on hardware you own and operate. Current builds run on the LilyGo T-Deck Plus.
