“NSA and their partners monitors the network and basically private areas, install monitoring software on all world hard drives, and now it turns out that they have stolen the keys needed to snoop on your mobile. The key is the SIM card, “we wrote on February 20.
– They could not hack It was
The Intercept that revealed the case thanks to documents from Edward Snowden. Now refutes Gemalto that the hack happened as The Intercept and Snowden claims.
According to the company that produces 2 billion SIM cards annually, they have found that an operation performed by GCHQ and NSA “probably happened” in 2010 and 2011, but they did not come further than office systems when they tried to hack into the truly secure systems.
They argue therefore that the NSA and GCHQ have not been joined encryption keys to SIM cards .
– 3G and 4G network not affected regardless
Gemalto also claims that the two intelligence agencies managed to steal something, then they will only be able to spy on second generation 2G networks – according Gemalto is not 3G and 4G network possible to attack the same way.
Furthermore, they write that:
“Gemalto has never sold SIM cards to four of the twelve operators that were listed in the document, and therefore neither the Somali operator where 300,000 keys must have been stolen. “
