What is SS7?
SS7 (Signaling System No. 7) is a signaling protocol used in telecommunications to set up and tear down phone calls, manage mobile services like SMS, and provide other network services. It is a set of signaling protocols which allows phone networks to exchange information. Although critical for basic telecom operations, SS7's vulnerabilities have been exploited for surveillance and fraud.
