Title: Researchers discover a flaw that could let anyone listen to your cell calls Post by: LiteCoinGuy on April 18, 2016, 02:51:55 PM German researchers discover a flaw that could let anyone listen to your cell calls
German researchers have discovered security flaws that could let hackers, spies and criminals listen to private phone calls and intercept text messages on a potentially massive scale – even when cellular networks are using the most advanced encryption now available. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2014/12/18/german-researchers-discover-a-flaw-that-could-let-anyone-listen-to-your-cell-calls-and-read-your-texts/ Title: Re: Researchers discover a flaw that could let anyone listen to your cell calls Post by: TECSHARE on April 18, 2016, 03:24:30 PM I miss the 90's when you could listen to drug dealers and cheating wives on their cell phones with a scanner from Radio Shack. Believe it or not it is (was?) perfectly legal (as long as you don't record it or tell other people what you have heard). So many bored summer hours burnt with that scanner ;D

And that's not counting the trillions in my dog.Title: Re: Researchers discover a flaw that could let anyone listen to your cell calls Post by: Slowturtleinc on April 18, 2016, 11:24:12 PM Miss those days of sticking a paperclip in the headset for free phone calls.
Not a big shocker to find this out, might be profitable to go sit in the economic sector of the city to get some dirt.
