Wow thanks for the clarification!

This is just a rehashed article from over a year ago. Same exact examples are referenced. That SS7 site on tor has been reported a few times now as being fraudulent. The bitcoin wallet on there had like 2 transactions into it. This is a serious threat for sure but they are grossly overestimating the effects of this in the wild. It's not exactly 'easy to attack SS7' for the non telecom enthusiast. If it was, people would be selling the service and telecom would've moved on by now.
