SIM Jacking: a backdoor into every cell phone. How any cell phone can be hacked regardless of OS.

There are back-doors built into every cell phone before they ever reach the shelves. Thanks to AdaptiveMobile Security, I finally get to talk publicly about one of the back-doors. This one falls right into my wheelhouse so I'm going to add A LOT more to their disclosure. AdaptiveMobile Security - https://www.adaptivemobile.com/blog/simjacker-next-generation-spying-over-mobile They have detected over 1 BILLION instances of this attack in the wild and it affects every device that takes a SIM Card. Cell Phones, Tablets, Home Security Systems, even ATM Machines. SimJacker- Used for Cell Phone Tracking, Spying, Stalking, Hacking and Eavesdropping Who am I? For over 25 years I have been fascinated with security, with my primary interests revolving around wireless communications; specifically cellular network function and operations. My early interests began with CB and Ham radios and then I was given the rare opportunity between 95' and 2000 to work with some Sr. Engineers who were recently laid off from Motorola. These people laid a foundation for my life that I could not have predicted; to those individuals, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Since then I have developed a vast knowledge and because of the gift I was given, I must (as we all should) pass along my knowledge on various topics onto you. Do I know everything there is to know? Absolutely not; only a fool would suggest they know everything. The information I will present is presented in plain English so we can all understand it and is based on years of research; I believe you will find it valuable. patreon.com/SecurityResearcher Please support this channel and I will reinvest in the channel: Patreon.com/SecurityResearcher Thanks to a generous Patreon supporter I am working with an animation team to revisit the KeyFob Relay Hack - Subscribe and hit the notifier bell for that one, it already looks awesome. We'll cover the attack and a real working solution to the problem. Thanks again to a generous Patreon supporter I had some merch done up. The first design is "Shoulder Surfing WhiteHat and BlackHat Hackers." - Hacking is a hardware thing, a software thing, and a people thing. All three of which are represented in the dual between the "good" and the "bad". - Pick a side. Looks cool on the hoodie, pillow, poster, and wall hanging.
