You know, I've invented a device that lets me rob people's houses without any fear of recrimination. They just have to leave their front door open, turn the alarms off, and not have any big dogs.

Surely the key part here is having the account name and password, and not the intercepted text?]]>May 22nd 2009 5:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/investigators-demonstrate-nokia-1100s-criminal-potential/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/investigators-demonstrate-nokia-1100s-criminal-potential/Did you ever hear how many computers are trojaned? As I recall it was a staggering number in the area of +25%, and that's in western countries, and even on computers where they use basic precautions.

NO, it is no trivial. Then this is not an attack to the Nokia 1100, is an attack to the GSM system

I presume the Nokia1100 simply allows that listening with relative ease...]]>May 22nd 2009 6:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/investigators-demonstrate-nokia-1100s-criminal-potential/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/investigators-demonstrate-nokia-1100s-criminal-potential/May 22nd 2009 6:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/investigators-demonstrate-nokia-1100s-criminal-potential/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/investigators-demonstrate-nokia-1100s-criminal-potential/i think.]]>May 22nd 2009 7:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/investigators-demonstrate-nokia-1100s-criminal-potential/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/investigators-demonstrate-nokia-1100s-criminal-potential/I'm surprised that this now floats up all of a sudden and that there are no Russian/Chinese criminals trying to take advantage of this technology by simply duplicating it. It's rather old so it shouldn't be to hard I guess.]]>May 22nd 2009 8:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/investigators-demonstrate-nokia-1100s-criminal-potential/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/investigators-demonstrate-nokia-1100s-criminal-potential/
1) The potential for abuse of a recall is very high. Once the serial numbers are known or a public recall is announced the criminals could post $500 rewards for the phone, much higher than Nokia would be willing to pay to swap the phones

2) This will only remove the legitimate phones from circulation and will do nothing to stop the ones already in the hands of the bad guys.]]>May 22nd 2009 9:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/investigators-demonstrate-nokia-1100s-criminal-potential/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/investigators-demonstrate-nokia-1100s-criminal-potential/
All they're saying is this Nokia can have the IMEI and IMSI changed, and they'd still have to go through the process of cloning the SIM, which involves finding the Ki, which is damn near impossible on newer SIM cards without the automatic SIM disable kicking in, permanently disabling the SIM.

... There are other phones that can have IMEI/IMSI cloning done. This isn't anything new (especially in the realm of CDMA cloning).]]>May 22nd 2009 7:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/investigators-demonstrate-nokia-1100s-criminal-potential/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/investigators-demonstrate-nokia-1100s-criminal-potential/Jun 5th 2009 7:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/investigators-demonstrate-nokia-1100s-criminal-potential/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/investigators-demonstrate-nokia-1100s-criminal-potential/Jun 25th 2009 9:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/investigators-demonstrate-nokia-1100s-criminal-potential/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/investigators-demonstrate-nokia-1100s-criminal-potential/Aug 15th 2009 6:38AM
