How Hacker Can Read Your Private Messages and Listen Your Phone Calls Through Hacking?

It seems that the privacy that the people had when speaking on their mobile phones is now threatened by the hackers all over the world.
 
CORAM, N.Y. - Jan. 30, 2015 - PRLog -- Recently the security researchers discovered a massive flaw in the security systems that can let the cyber criminals read the private messages or to hear calls even if there is used some advanced or latest encryption. This flaw is laying in Signal System 7- a global telecom network, thanks to whom, many phone carriers such as Verizon and AT&T are redirecting calls and massages one to each other. This Signal System 7, designed since the 1980s, was facing some serious weaknesses that endanger the costumer’s privacy.

Actually, Signal System 7 is a protocol used by most of the world’s telecommunication operators which allow the mobile phone carriers to collect information about the location using the cell phone towers. According to the online cyber investigation service, as a result of the outdated infrastructure of this protocol, the attacks from the hackers all around the world is very easy. The privacy of the billions of costumers from the whole world is endangered.

The flaws are actually some functions that are part of SS7 for some other reasons such as switching from one to another cell tower or keeping connected calls as the users are speeding down highways. The hackers can attack the private calls or massages using two different techniques. The first one is by sending commands over CC7 that will hack the mobile phone forwarding function, in a same time redirecting the call or massage to themselves first, and than to the recipient. The second way that the hackers are by using the radio antenna from where they are collecting all messages and calls that are passing through.

Although there have been efforts to avoid those shortcomings of the existing protocol that is used by all the world's telecommunications companies, nothing has yet achieved  with certainty which will ensure complete privacy of mobile phone users.Introduction of new technologies with 3G and 4G for establishing the phone calls and send and receive text messages, which is conducted by many companies still not a good enough solution that will prevent hackers perform eavesdropping talks and intercept messages.However, hacker attacks is not something that is discovered now, there were attacks few moths backward, but knowing that the privacy and secured data are things that is important for all of us, authorities need to find out how big the threat of these attacks by hackers.
