      This is obviously horrible on many levels. As a nerd, I feel like some of us need to dive into the practical issues. How are US adversaries tapping Trump’s iPhone? Let’s look at options.https://twitter.com/maggieNYT/status/1055216027322195970 …

      1) Software/baseband implant. Seems unlikely, as the story sounds like only calls are being tapped, not the phone being turned into a portable bug. Also, if USG sources knew this wouldn’t they just replace the actual 📱?

      2) Active MITM attack. (Stingray) Certainly technically possible with tools and techniques available to anybody who goes to DEFCON. Unlikely in this case: I would hope anybody running a fake BTS near White House would meet some USSS agents quickly.

      3) SS7 Hijacking Maybe? I can’t imagine AT&T or Verizon would just sit back while the President’s known numbers are hijacked and re-routed.

      These seem like the key passages: Sounds most like SS7. Also note the story says they try to make Trump swap the official phones every month.pic.twitter.com/Ewx4WtC2T4

      Why not hacks or backdoors into basestations / core network?
