Is it really that easy to obtain SMS codes using an SS7 attack?
I live in a country where there are very few alternatives to SMS verification codes. Almost no local banks offer two-factor authentication other than SMS, and SMS verification is mandatory for all banking transactions. However, I hear online that it's very insecure and that SMS codes can be stolen without significant technical skill. Is this really true, and if so, how can I mitigate this?
