jegillis Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 http://www.forbes.com/sites/parmyolson/2013/07/21/sim-cards-have-finally-been-hacked-and-the-flaw-could-affect-millions-of-phones/ I had no idea that a SIM controlled so much. However, I would be much more concerned with my SIM-less CDMA handset being cracked than with a sim card that is easily replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rukin1 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Cracked encryption allows hackers to potentially clone your SIM, priovided you're still using an out-dated encryption protocol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newboyx Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 The 'new' SIM card exploit probably doesn't concern you http://www.androidcentral.com/new-sim-card-exploit-probably-doesn-t-concern-you Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 4 Beta 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koiulpoi Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Just read the AndroidPolice article. I'm guessing that since Sprint's LTE SIMs are for just that - LTE - they have no bearing on OTA authentication (where the vulnerability lies), and this is a non-issue for us.
