SIM cards can be hacked in 2 Minutes

Hello Friend Voltshare Now i will discuss about SIM cards can be hacked in 2 Minutes and previously I have made an article about The New Motherboard Of AMD A85x COOL Motherboard

if it ever occurred to your SIM card on the phone at this time could easily be used to steal personal data simply by sending an SMS 2? Recent research conducted security analyst, Karsten Nohl, showing it can be done. Unfortunately, the hacking process can be done in about 2 minutes.

Weakness DES encryption (Data Encryption Standard) which is currently adopted by the SIM card is suspected as the culprit of the presence of the security hole. Karsten briefly explains how to penetrate this security, by sending a message with a special code that seemed to come from the operator to the SIM card in the phone. The phone will then consider the message as error messages and automatically reply back to the sender to include all the information needed hackers to break digital locks on the SIM card.

Result of the breakdown of earlier security is hacker full control tehadap victims phones. "We can install applications remotely. We can also spy on you. We know the encryption key used to call. We can read your SMS. Seem to be more distant, we can also steal data on SIM cards, steal your identity, or use your phone billing, "explains Karsten as quoted from fastcompany.com

Karsten hacking research was conducted in the 1000 SIM card used in mobile networks the countries of North America and Europe. However, Karsten just broke through security in about a quarter of the cards earlier. That means about half of the world's six billion mobile phones that use DES, three-quarters of a billion phones have this weakness. The good news, SIM cards with 3DES ekripsi new system is free from this problem.

Karsten plans to show more details of the findings at the Black Hat conference, Las Vegas, USA, next month.
