And of course, the headline is a distortion what is actually claimed. Don't ever blame the corporation that didn't do shit to fix the problem, despite multiple complaints. Blame the NSA, who didn't say anything for possible reasons ranging from wanting to listen themselves, to not wanting to publicize the fact that it did exist because they thought the corporation wouldn't do shit to fix it. Go on self-righteous red herring rant about how whenever you insert vulnerabilities, they get exploited, even though the SS7 billing system in question didn't have those.
