For ordinary souls, this encryption would take days and months to decode a sentence or a complete message.
Ditto with another secure messaging service called Telegram.
SS7 is vulnerable to hacking and this has been known since 2008.
Researchers created a tool (SnoopSnitch) that can warn when certainSS7 attacksoccur against phone and detect IMSI-catchers.
