"Researchers demonstrate how to steal Bitcoin by exploiting SS7 issues"
A team of researchers at Positive Technologies have demonstrated how the exploitation of vulnerabilities within the Signaling System 7 (SS7) protocol could allow malicious actors to perform a number of malicious activities such as gaining access to Gmail accounts and Coinbase accounts to steal funds. SS7 is a telecommunications standard used in the transportation and exchange of data. This article further discusses the use of the SS7 protocol, what can be performed by attackers with the exploitation of vulnerabilities within this protocol, and notable attacks that have exploited SS7 vulnerabilities.
