For a few dollars: Hackers can easily intercept all text messages
Security researchers have repeatedly demonstrated over the years that mobile communications in general and SMS in particular are not necessarily among the most secure technologies. The methods of intercepting calls and text messages range from SIM swapping to the exploitation of basic protocol weaknesses – as is the case with SS7 attacks. In the case of motherboards, we have now come across another path, and it is particularly shocking because of how easy and inexpensive it is to implement.
