It is different from other acts of espionage against U.S. telecommunications networks, like the recent hacks by suspected Chinese spies of Verizon and AT&T reported by the Wall Street Journal. Earlier this month, Deputy National Security Advisor for Cyber and Emerging Tech Anne Neuberger told reporters that China hacked “at least eight” U.S. telecoms, freelance journalist Eric Geller reported. SS7, meanwhile, does not require hacking in the traditional sense, instead relying on fundamental issues in the network and protocol that treats any connection request as legitimate, even if carried out by a malicious party. For that reason, SS7 is a much more available spying tool to governments around the world. In 2020, researchers from Citizen Lab at the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy at the University of Toronto identified many likely clients of SS7 exploitation company Circles. Those included Australia, Belgium, Botswana, Chile, Denmark, Ecuador, El Salvador, Estonia, Equatorial Guinea, Guatemala, Honduras, Indonesia, Israel, Kenya, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, Nigeria, Peru, Serbia, Thailand, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Vietnam, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Circles previously merged with notorious government malware developer NSO Group. NSO Group closed the Circles Cyprus office in 2020.

Excerpted text from letter quoted in the story. You can follow links to find it.

Karsten Nohl, founder and chief scientist of cybersecurity company Security Research Labs and who has extensively researched SS7, told 404 Media in an email that “We definitely observe geopolitical adversaries abusing SS7 weaknesses with impunity.” In the newly released document, Senator Wyden’s office says the DoD confirmed it believes that all U.S. carriers are vulnerable to SS7 and Diameter surveillance, and that DoD has not reviewed third-party audits carried out by U.S. carriers of their own networks. “The DoD has asked the carriers for copies of the results of their third-party audits and were informed that they are considered attorney-client privileged information,” the DoD writes. Diameter is something of an efficiency upgrade to SS7, but it can still be attacked.
