(2019-11-30) Sms Replacement Is Exposing Users To Text Call Interception Thanks To Sloppy Telecos

SMS Replacement is Exposing Users to Text, Call Interception Thanks to Sloppy Telecos. The Rich Communication Services (RCS) standard is essentially the replacement for SMS.

SRLabs didn't find an issue in the RCS standard itself, but rather how it is being implemented by different telecos. Because some of the standard is undefined, there's a good chance companies may deploy it in their own way and make mistakes.
