Cybersecurity attacks on SIM cards: a wealth of useful info about SIM and cellular network hacking. 📱🎫👥📲💰
Security researchers Pedro Cabrera and Miguel Gallego share their work on SIM cybersecurity attacks, especially SIM swapping and SIM cloning - how attackers can extract data from SIM cards and exploit weak authentication systems in 2G–5G mobile networks.
The authors also present the GhostSIM attack - extracting key SIM card data directly from the SIM card. Attackers can then impersonate the victim on mobile networks because the network sees the cloned SIM as the legitimate subscriber.
A good presentation that gives you a lot of information on how SIM cards store information, how to extract secrets, and how different attacks work. Enjoy!
