<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">I think this is the "lawful intercept" laws that says that the US Govt can listen to telecommunications and phone networks. Obviously the Chinese (and probably other foreign adversaries or even friendlys) would spend a lot of resources to target this. The Chinese have succeeded. The "good" (or "even worse") side of this is that it means it's hackable and that ordinary US citizens could get into it. Whether or not anyone else has done it yet is unknown, but really it's only a matter of time.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">SO. Don't send credit card or password info to friends or family via text msg unless you obscure it. If I'm sending a long random character password from my computer to my phone I'll swap the first half and second half of the string and stick a known substring in the middle. Yes I could manually enter it but since I use KeePass most of my passwords are like 67 random chars that are really hard to replicate manually. NOTE: the length of the password is a prime number intentionally.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">Example, if I'm texting my google password "abc123xyz!@#" from my laptop to my phone I'll change it to "xyz!@#fredabc123".
