It has been reported that a Berlin based security firm, by using advanced technology, has cracked the encryption code for some mobile phones. Karsten Nohl, Head of Security Research Labs said that the cracking would enable any one to access the emails of the one whose mobile has been hacked previously.
Karsten Nohl is now urging the mobile operators to improve the security of their networks by releasing software that can turn phones into mobile data snoops of General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) traffic. It has been informed that the new software will be presented today at the Chaos Communication Camp 2011 in Finowfurt, near Berlin.
The researchers of the Security Research Labs informed that by using the new software they were able to read data sent on T-Mobile, O2 Germany, Vodafone, and E-Plus. However, they were not able to access the Telecom Italia’s TIM and Wind.
The weak security system of the mobile operators has been highlighted for long by Karsten. In 2009, he released the encryption algorithms used by mobile operators on Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) networks. Later, he released software for people so that they could test whether or not their calls on mobile phones can be eavesdropped on.
