September 06, 2003GSM Security CrackedReuters has a report that some Israeli Scientists cracked GSM Mobile Call Security, allowing them to listen in on any conversation on the network, as well as determining the parties on both ends. Apparently it is getting brushed off, as they feel its not a practical attack that can be done without a lot of monetary investment in the needed hardware. This is just dumb. You don't think that the signal intelligence agencies of the world wouldn't invest in such a device if it means they can listen in on all cell traffic on the encrypted network? Of course they would! More importantly, so would many criminal elements! They say an upgrade that fixes the flaw has been updated in some areas in July, and that 3G networks have an entirely different algorithm, rendering this attack useless. Guess the world should scrap GSM and go to C/TDMA. NOT. Time to move everyone to 3G. Posted by SilverStr at September 6, 2003 01:51 AM |
