"When you send all those texts, you probably assume that you and your recipients are the only ones privy to the information contained within. That’s where you’d be wrong.

With the recent ghost texting controversy, people have started to question just how secure text messages are. The simple answer: not very.

Remember: Text messages are sent in a multi-step process. While your message might be encrypted from your phone to the first cell tower, it’s not encrypted after that. And your SMSC may keep the message even if both the sender and recipient delete it. Whenever a message is encrypted, it can be read by the mobile service, hackers, or governments."
