Vulnerabilities in the SS7 protocol leave everyone exposed
As telecommunication technologies evolve, so does the threat landscape. Early generations of mobile networks 2G/3G rely on SS7 and its IP Version SIGTRAN, protocols designed decades ago, without giving adequate effect to modern-day security implications. At that time nobody envisioned the scale that mobile networks could reach, so trust and security were not issues.
The SS7, SIGTRAN, GTP and Diameter signalling protocols are underpinning telephone networks across the globe. It is widely known that these signalling protocols have several severe security weaknesses, which can be exploited by attackers in many different ways. At the same time, weaknesses in signalling protocols are not easy to tackle.
