Forge technology mobile network has recently been launched in Bangladesh. Although it will take some time for 4G to reach all parts of the country, almost all mobile internet users are very interested in 4G. With the advent of Forge, mobile internet speeds will increase significantly, at least that’s what everyone expects. High quality video calls, live TV and high speed online file transfers will be possible on the Forge network. Everyone hears about it, and users are excited about it. But you will be disappointed to hear about the recent security flaws in the 4G LTE network.
A study from Purdue and the University of Iowa in the United States Has arrivedThere are some security flaws in the 4G LTE network that can be used by criminals to carry out at least 10 types of attacks. These include sending fake emergency alerts to users’ phones, eavesdropping on calls and messages, recording customer locations, taking the phone offline, and more.
The confidential information that is required to gain admin access to the Forge LTE network, due to errors, without giving that information, special operations are possible to enter the network and perform certain operations on the users’ phones. According to the research paper, this requires a separate mechanical structure that costs only ০০ 1,300 to build.
The researchers said that they had succeeded in experimental hacking using the SIM cards of four major mobile operators in the United States, using seven of the 10 security flaws mentioned in the laboratory. After resolving the errors, they will publish their Proof of Concept Code.
Of course, the issue of errors in mobile networks is not new at all. In the future 5G with more secure communication system to solve many such errors Will come. But in the meantime 4G LTE also needs further development. According to researchers, that is possible.
