Reading Syniverse's cause of trouble (lame excuse) tells me their data
handling processes are poor and seemingly shady since I do not buy
reason for the trouble.

It seems there is a company that has everyone's text messages..
"Some mobile carriers rely on a third-party text platform

delivered this week."

Yeah, like who (in the private sector -- we all knew the
NSA already
are doing this) has access to and is archiving *everyone*s
text
