Common threats to smartphones KGC Crypto Custodian SMC Network eavesdropping Any calls made from your phone may be transmitted unencrypted through your operator s network. This allows anyone, with or without authorized access to the network, the ability to eavesdrop on your conversations and read your text messages. Local eavesdropping Your mobile phone is always connected to the local base station with the best signal strength and can easily connect to a false base station. Your phone calls can be intercepted and recorded and your text messages manipulated.
Trojans and other malware Smartphones are susceptible to Trojans or other malicious code. A Trojan is a program that appears to contain normal functions, but in fact contains hidden programming that records information and forwards it to an attacker. Spoofing Never trust that the person on the other end of the line is who they claim to be. A hacker can easily forge your identity and gain access to sensitive information. Lost or stolen mobile phone Leaving your phone unattended for just a couple of minutes is enough time for someone to e.g install an eavesdropping microphone. And if your phone is lost or stolen, all the contact information you have stored on it is suddenly in the hands of others.
