The hackers were able to listen to phone calls and read text messages, reportedly exploiting the system U.S. authorities use to wiretap Americans in criminal cases.

Oh no, the predictable consequences of violating privacy. Anyway don't let me get in the way of any China bad posting from this

I want a new end to end encrypted standard to either add on to or replace MMS.

Maybe also find a way to secure SS7 if that's even possible

I wonder where the Chinese government got all that money to create technology to spy on America? Oh wait, it was the Americans spending all their money on goods imported from China.
