Location Tracking Attacks Exploit SS7 Network

Through the continued research of AdaptiveMobile's industry-leading Threat Intelligence Unit, the Company has detected an increasing level of sophistication in how attackers are exploiting vulnerabilities in the SS7 network.

Examples of multiple location tracking platforms have been discovered monitoring the location of subscribers, spanning multi-operators and multi-countries. The animation below demonstrates how these tracking platforms are exploiting the SS7 network and the regions where subscribers are being affected.
