Racist Text Messages, SS7 Network and Telecom Vulnerabilities
Anonymous racist text messages referencing plantations and cotton picking were sent to Black Americans in at least ten states following the election. The vulnerability is attributed to the SS7 (Signaling System No. 7) network, which allows actors to buy access and spoof messages from untraceable locations. The incident is characterized as a potential psychological operation designed to stoke racial tension.
