A Hacker Owned a Congressman's Phone With One Piece of Data

A hacker in Berlin intercepted a lawmaker's calls and tracked his location.
All he needed was the phone number.

In 2016, CBS 60 Minutes gave Karsten Nohl a congressman's new iPhone number — nothing else. From Berlin, Nohl's team recorded calls, read texts, and tracked real-time location. Location services being switched off changed nothing. Nohl confirmed the SS7 flaw is an open secret among intelligence agencies worldwide — and carriers said it was already fixed.
