How Telecom Outage Resets Exposed the SS7 Hacking Playbook

In June 2026, a midwest telecom outage triggered by a routine network reset exposed a deeper vulnerability: SS7 protocol exploits that let hackers reroute calls and intercept two-factor authentication codes. Lucas and Luna break down the specific exploit chain — how a 40-year-old signaling protocol still underpins modern phone networks, why carriers are slow to patch, and what the recent stock surge in cybersecurity names like Palo Alto Networks (+14.1% in five days) and CrowdStrike (+9.1%) tells us about the market's bet on telecom security. They discuss the real-world impact: a journalist whose SIM was swapped via SS7 during the outage window, and why the FCC's new 'Network Integrity' rules, proposed in April 2026, might not close the loophole. No alarmism — just the mechanics of a vulnerability that won't die. #SS7 #TelecomSecurity #SIMSwap #TwoFactorAuthentication #NetworkOutage #PaloAltoNetworks #CrowdStrike #CyberSecurity #Technology #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #SignalProtocol #FCC #MFA #ZeroTrust #Vulnerability #Infosec #Hacking Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
