Networks of mobile communication represent a difficult ecosystem. And, even in spite of the fact that technologies 4G are more advanced in comparison with the previous generations, the security issue still remains open. Infrastructure of 4G networks remains vulnerable to the same attacks, as well as earlier SS7 protocol what our recent researches testify to. Critical vulnerabilities of signal protocols and an error of a configuration of network give to hackers the chance to carry out the attacks aimed, for example, at plunder of personal data of subscribers, tracking of location, fraud and failure in service — Dmitry Kurbatov, the Chief information security officer of telecommunication systems of Positive Technologies said.
