I used to work in the mobile space for 7 years and i'm still amazed nobody has proposed and monetized a solution to SS7 being unfit for purpose. The reason it's not happened is nobody wants to spend money on even talking about the fix, never mind implementing it.
The sheer number of scammers and nation state actors that have taken advantage of this is mind-blowing, but we still use SMS as a 2FA.
If we have telephony providers responsible for these breaches the problem will disappear in 6 months.
- awakeasleep 8y agoI worry you're missing my point! It's not "spending money on the fix"... it's "killing our largest revenue stream"!
- sofaofthedamned 8y agoWasn't missing your point, we're on the same page, hence my point about personal responsibility being the solution. It's anologous to the web but that is on the way of being fixed - csrf, cors etc.
