Reply #4: Sorry that doesn't help...

Having worked in the WAN/telco industry, I have absolutely zero confidence that they have built secure systems. Hell, even Cisco has to be beat over the head to take bugs and security seriously sometimes. It took them years and years before they themselves realized the importance of prioritizing signaling. And some of the bozos I've met from some other companies that will remain nameless since I may end up working there someday... sheesh. People that don't belong anywhere near a network regularly design very important components, with little or no consideration for stability or security.

Of course media articles are always tripe when it comes to tech, but even so, I definitely don't have a warm fuzzy over the state of cell networks.
