So two major concerns are security and online privacy. This is true in the computer repair industry. Furthermore, you know this is true in the government. But yet, they can spy on the President. Do we have any hope?
So according to some tech insiders, President Trump has 3 iPhones. Well, let’s give him credit for even doing that. Because before 2016, he had a Samsung, which had Android IT support service. Over the years, we all know Android is more venerable to hackers and attacks than Apple. But if you have an iPhone, know that you’re at risk too. I digress. But even in the White House, which should be the most secure place in America, Signaling System No. 7 (SS7).
This system makes it easy for hackers to spy on phone calls and text messages. In fact, experts say SS7 is so messed up that hackers even use the verify codes, break into them, and drain bank accounts and get other info. Guess what system the White house uses right now? You guessed it, the SS7. Do you see what a huge problem this could be? However, even this is a step up from what President Obama got during his second term. The phone they gave him didn’t even have a camera, and the Presidential Records Act didn’t even let him text.
So these three iPhones is a step up. But they need to do more. Keep in mind Russia and China can easily intercept the system and get all kinds of information from SS7. This include enough info to crash the economy, shut down electricity/tech infrastructure, even start wars. They could even learn nuclear capabilities. I know that sounds scary, but that’s what a mediocre security system can lead to, especially in the White House. They can spy on the President. Do we have any hope?
