The SS7 Location Spy
SecOps Sarah documents an SS7 firewall incident — rogue PSI location tracking blocked at The Hub signaling edge before VIP subscriber compromise.
SecOps Sarah observes an abnormal frequency of PSI (Provide Subscriber Info) signaling packets originating from a foreign network hub.
She maps the target coordinates: a VIP subscriber is being tracked down to cell tower precision in real time without their device showing alerts.
Sarah immediately adjusts the SS7 Signaling Firewall policy, blocking the rogue requests. The location tracking attempt fails.
