Weak security sucks. However, this has been known about for years. People at Freedom Mobile know about it, customers know about it, the parent company knows about it. It's just that nobody has prioritized fixing it. Having seen the insides of several Canadian telco's security branches, it's a mixed bag. Some are better than others, but in general smaller, non-RoBelUs (Rogers, Bell, Telus) carriers tend to have atrocious (or non-existant) security. And even among the big-3, there are marked differences in their security maturity levels.
