  1. cloning and intercepting GSM/CDMA mobiles = impossible outside the lab

    I really wouldn't sign a cheque on that.

    See OpenBTS and my posts on Vodafone Greece. However, I doubt the Screws has the clues. Especially when folk don't change the PINs on their voicemail.

  2. The Voda Greece thing was taps on the fixed-line bits of the network, not cracking the GSM, shirley? Hard to clarify in 140 chars, but I wasn't excluding the possibility of people within the unencrypted bit of the network being corrupted.

    Will have a look at OpenBTS, seems like an interesting collection of gen. However, I'm still sceptical that their exploits translate into real life 'I can tap Posh Spice's mobile'-ery…
