Hi, I was reading an article about SMS spam in China: https://blog.trendmicro.com/trendlabs-security-intelligence/the-mobile-cybercriminal-underground-market-in-china/ Spammers use GSM modems that fake real cells, so they can send spam and phishing. Of course, this could also be used to spy on user communications.
So I was wondering if we couldn’t use our database to enforce users security, by warning them if the phone connects to an unknown cell (hoping the malicious modems don’t spoof the currently available cell id). For example, the cell could ask our database the list of known cells around it’s current position, and warn when it connect to an unknown cell). I’m a whole noob in GSM area, so excuse me if this sounds stupid ;) Clochix -- Envoyé depuis des Logiciels Libres (Vim, Mutt, Exim4, Debian GNU/Linux) _______________________________________________ dev-geolocation mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-geolocation
