Meeting in Berlin, Germany, the German security research labs Karsten Nohl said that all GSM phones have a security risk, even hackers can exploit this vulnerability in the user's knowledge of the case call or send text messages. You know, 80 percent of the world's mobile phone is based on the GSM network, so this news to a lot of scared people.
Nohl said that only in "very short time frame" to complete the thousands of calls to attack. In Eastern Europe, Africa and Asia, for the communication lines of attack have emerged. For example, following this scene: the crooks invade a company through the telephone system, and unlimited dial a service number to get service charge. The company has been invaded when checking phone bills will find the problem.
Nohl presented in this gathering of some better protection for hacking operators, such as T-Mobile in Germany and France, SFR. Located in 11 countries, 32 operators in the invasion test showed weak protection awareness - hackers can easily intercept calls, tracking, and even simulate a user's identity is also very easy.
"These are the overall network security situation is worrying," Nohl said, "Now it seems that mobile networks in the mobile ecosystem is the weakest link, even better than a lot of problems Android / iOS devices more worried." But hope is still there. Nohl pointed out that these operators can be a simple way to improve network security - for example, to upgrade their system software and mobile phones accessories.
