Mobile security: flaw allows hackers to read texts and listen to calls

Hackers can eavesdrop on your phone calls and text messages even with cell networks using “the most advanced encryption available” according to The Washington Post.
German researchers discovered that Signal System 7 (SS7), the global network that lets the world’s cellular carriers route calls and texts around the world, has “serious vulnerabilities that undermine the privacy of the world’s billions of cellular customers.” The Daily Mail lists AT&T and Verizon as amongst the carriers affected.
