HI there :) so here is a question - but please realize that most of what you wrote went over my head... hahahaa so feel free to dumb down your response as much as you need. I won't be offended! :) but we are all using cell phones, and we are all vulnerable. but if i'm just the average Joe (or Jane lol) what's the likelihood that my phone is being spied on. or.... is everyone's phone basically being spied on by computer programs - and the more trigger words you say - the higher up the "list" your phone number ascends? (sorry for the simple questions ) and i did read the SS7 hack explained: what you can do about it? article that you linked to as well... but i didn't really see what we could do. Unless you're saying - use a program like Whatsapp - instead of normal text messages? Thanks for reading! :)
