MONTREAL - Most of the world's cellphones can be hacked and their phone calls recorded using less than $100 of equipment, a pair of researchers have found.
The pair, Sylvain Munaut and Karsten Nohl, demonstrated to the Chaos Computer Club Congress in Berlin, Germany, this week how they intercepted phone calls and SMS messages using four phones they bought for less than $15 each, and a laptop. The pair said most phone networks working on the GSM standard are vulnerable. The GSM network is used by 80 per cent of the world's phones, including Rogers Communications Inc., which has the largest market share in Canada, and Fido.
Speaking for Rogers, Sebastien Bouchard said he wasn't sure if customers were affected by this vulnerability. He said, however, that Rogers works closely with the world GSM association to protect the privacy of its customers.
Bell Canada Enterprises and Telus Corporation use different technology, the HSPA+ network. Bell spokesperson Marie-Eve Francoeur said that network isn't affected by the vulnerabilities of GSM software. She said, however, that Bell is concerned with security and reviews its procedures continuously.
The pair showed how they could send a ghost text message to a target phone, that the phone would not see, but the phone would transmit its identification number to the sender.
