The study uncovered several vulnerabilities using monitoring of mobile communications and setting up fake base stations in laboratory environments. Monitoring device placed in each of the cells can identify where the target user is located in (Copyright: Altaf Shaik). 4G was thought to provide strong privacy and availability guarantees for mobile users, assuming that for instance tracking the user movement would be impossible or ineffective. – We built a 4G fake base station and showed that...
