AdaptiveMobile finds evidence of sophisticated location tracking platforms exploiting the SS7 network

DALLAS, 18 February 2016 – AdaptiveMobile, the world leader in mobile network security, announced today it has evidence of sophisticated location tracking platforms exploiting the SS7 network. In new research to be released at Mobile World Congress, 2016, AdaptiveMobile will share detailed evidence of next-generation location tracking platforms exploiting the SS7 network, using global tracking platforms to determine the near-exact location of specific subscribers.

“Attackers are now using increasingly sophisticated approaches in their attempts to track subscribers through the SS7 network,” said Brian Collins, chief executive officer of AdaptiveMobile. “The level of complexity detected through global tracking platforms should be of concern to operator networks who do not have sufficiently sophisticated controls in place to protect their subscribers.”
