"according to a person who works at a telephone carrier, whoever hacked Syniverse could have had access to metadata such as length and cost, caller and receiver's numbers, the location of the parties in the call, as well as the content of SMS text messages."

I would like to order all of the Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Rob MCcabe, Jim Comey, Loretta Lynch etc... text messages please. That'll do for a start.

Sh*t! I sent my girlfriend a picture of some bourbon I was going to bring over (I.W. Harper 15). Now they know.

The stuff is hard to get in Yankeeland.

Pick one from: China, NSA via proxy (UK), Russia, or Israel.

“Pick one from: China, NSA via proxy (UK), Russia, or Israel.”

*****

That’s exactly my list and just what I was going to post. CCP, USA, Russia, Israel, in that order, and that’s it, end of list.

If I understand it correctly, Syniverse doesn't transmit the actual text messages (seeing your data). It acts kind of like a DNS service does for the internet. So if a T-mobile user texts a message to a non-T-mobile user, T-mobile first asks Syniverse which carrier supports the # for the destination user. If Syniverse says it's Verizon, then T-mobile sends the text message directly to Verizon -- Syniverse never sees the contents of the message, just maybe some parameters like the length of the message and if it has attachments.

At least if I understand what Syniverse does for SMS.

The correct answer is ‘all of the above.’

For me the “tell” is how long they stayed submerged. That requires some real sophistication. Getting in is “relatively” easy.

So this breach happened right when the DOJ shut down the spying by “contractors” who freely perused the FBI/NSA databases. 702 “about” queries. Hence the Rosemary Collyer report.

Hmm...

In addition to Rosemary Collyer, I was thinking of Rosemary Woods.
