Cell Giants are having to go back to Securing their GSM networks.

It is un believable that in the modern technology available in the marketplace that we see that some of the Giants in the Cell Phone industry are still offering an unsecured network to their customers.

Just last week at a Cell Phone Industrial Show a known hacker was able to show with as little as $1500 he could tap into anybody’s GSM phone, by simulating a Cell Tower.  Back in January of this year a Conference in the Netherlands showed how cheaply a hacker can acheive this.  So who uses the GSM network.. AT&T, T-mobile just name a couple.  However, using the CDMA network used by  Alltel, Verizon and Sprint has it’s advantages today, it’s still secure. 

So we’ll see as time moves on who will take the extra measure to offer a more secure solution in the future..

  1. Everyone complains about the Government doing nothing, but in reality it’s us doing nothing. If the Americans of this homeland would make a stand and make a demand for what is correct then things would finally change. It’s tiring hearing about what’s incorrect with our country without action. Stand up for what you believe in.

  2. Do you mind if I quote a few of your articles as long as I provide credit and sources back to your blog? My blog site is in the exact same area of interest as yours and my users would truly benefit from some of the information you present here. Please let me know if this okay with you. Many thanks!

  3. Good day! This post couldn’t be written any better! Reading this post reminds me of my good old room mate! He always kept chatting about this. I will forward this write-up to him. Fairly certain he will have a good read. Many thanks for sharing!
