Why can't these cellphone companies keep our data safe? I just don't get it sometimes...Also, read so many and I mean sooooooo many articles about these companies combating robocalls and have not seen a difference at all. Get it together! https://techcrunch.com/2019/06/24/hackers-cell-networks-call-records-theft/
They've already sold the data...that's why
Iām getting the āScam Likelyā calls quite often. They seem to predict robocall fine. Just cannot block it all together somehow
By the way https://twitter.com/johnlegere/status/1143523092855062530?s=21
Well it is interesting because of they are able to detect "Scam Likely" well just block it
I don't seem to have an issue. š¤·šæāāļø
āGotta feel kind of bad for nation-state hackers who spend years implanting and cultivating some hardware exploit, only to discover the entire target database is already exposed to anyone with a web browser.ā
Because a company has no incentive to do more than the absolute bare minimum with respect to security. Any fines or penalties they pay (if any at all) are peanuts compared to the cost of actually caring about security, and so few consumers care that the impact to their bottom line is negligible. Same with the financial industry repeatedly and intentionally committing massive fraud. The fines are a joke, dwarfed by the money they make through their crimes, so why not? Nobody ever goes to jail. No penalty of consequence is ever imposed. Hence there's no incentive for them to care.
Have you ever even heard of GDPR?? Maybe in US, but enterprises get destroyed if they mess up now
What about GDPR? Why would US cellular companies care about European legislation?
I blame the old guard slow moving mental model they generally have.
None of your info is truly safe. Lol Govern yourself accordingly.
So true..
You should start a privacy focused cellular company
so they have the CDR metadata of my number. what are they going to do with it? snoop on my daily stand up calls? :p
Maybe not specific to you, but: gather info about your communication network, perform a social engineering attack into your parents, find your banks by the call trace, know your employer... expand on the initial info into an attack on something material
the article said targeted individuals. so they know who owns the number, then collect CDR data from a hacked source and not straight from the database. i've worked on one of these telcos and 7days worth of CDR data is ~800TB for LTE and with 5G it could be even more (stored in oracle exadata). they just age out this raw metadata and not keep history of it because it's just too big

Probably because it's lots of age old tech consisting of mountains of tech debt
