Experts from the Ruhr University and New York University in Abu Dhabi have published information about the ReVoLTE attack, which allows decrypting and overhearing other people’s conversations on LTE networks. This attack already has its own website, and at the Usenix conference researchers demonstrated a video presentation of their report. I’d like to note that… Continue reading ReVoLTE attack allows overhearing other people’s conversations in LTE networks

Vulnerabilities in old GTP protocol could affect 4G and 5G networks
Experts cautioned that vulnerabilities in the old GTP (GPRS Tunneling Protocol) could quite seriously affect the operation of 4G and 5G networks. In reports published last week and in December 2019, Positive Technologies and A10 Networks described in detail a number of vulnerabilities in this protocol. In particular, are known the following problems: Disclosure of… Continue reading Vulnerabilities in old GTP protocol could affect 4G and 5G networks
IMP4GT Vulnerability in LTE Threatens Almost All Modern Smartphones
Experts from Ruhr University reported an IMP4GT (IMPersonation Attacks in 4G NeTworks) problem. Modern LTE-enabled devices are vulnerable to IMP4GT, therefore, it threatens almost all smartphones, tablets, and IoT devices. A bug allows simulating another user’s operator’s network, which means an attacker will be able to issue paid subscriptions at the expense of other people… Continue reading IMP4GT Vulnerability in LTE Threatens Almost All Modern Smartphones
