GSM has been Cracked

I may go all Mafioso. Only talk at phone boxes in code.

The world's most popular standard for mobile phone communication (GSM) has been cracked. Security researchers now have the technology to eavesdrop on any target device. I've included a number of links in my write-up article:

I bet News International already do this.

A number of years ago it was fun to scan the 800 MHZ band with an unlocked scanner and listen to all the interesting conversations going on. You can still do this with analog cordless phones at 900 MHZ if you're close. I don't know if there are many 46-49 MHZ cordless phones in use any more.

I almost wish we could go back to analog cell phones. I hate trying to talk to someone when either I or they are in a bad reception area. With analog cell phones, you might get bursts of static but you could usually understand what someone was saying through the static. With the digital phones we have now, it sounds like they're talking under water and you can't understand a thing.

Right, so one does the retard gymnastics, moving here, there, everywhere, limbs akimbo, bent this way and that. Sad ...

And here I've been proceeding all these years under the impression that my texts and voice communications were already compromised by the federal government. Oh well, no loss.

And I have proceeded for the last several years without a care in the world that everything about me is being actively monitored

You know you're a boring person when you hear the FBI agent monitoring your wiretapped phone humming to himself.
