The unaddressed flaws leave mobile communications, and the security practices founded on them, vulnerable allowing hackers to intercept and divert SMS messages – including passcodes meant to validate identity and authorise transactions; eavesdrop on phone conversations; locate users via GPS signal; instigate denial of service attacks against the whole network; plus other illegitimate actions.
