13:09 Experts reflash "hacking» nokia 1100 | |
| A couple of weeks ago, slipped past the media information from the Dutch police, who uncovered a gang of hackers who buy tens of thousands of dollars the old phone model, Nokia 1100, produced on long ago closed a factory in Bochum in 2003. As reported in these models, there is some undocumented feature that allows you to receive some sort of secret bank information from service message from the service online banking. Frankly, it was like a "duck" and very little hard to believe that this is possible. But now the information is confirmed. "Hacker" phones were for research professionals, resulting in open new technical details. In rare phones installed a special version of the firmware which was relatively easy to reprogram, to receive SMS, sent to any number. As you know, via SMS, some banks in Germany and the Netherlands send OTPs mTAN (mobile Transaction Authentication Number), which are necessary to access the account and conduct banking transactions. To use someone else's mTAN, a hacker must already know the user name and password to the service online banking. But they find much easier than getting someone else's SMS. Specialists from Ultrascan purchased a copy of the buggy models Nokia 1100 and reported that they could use it to successfully intercept a foreign mTAN. To change the firmware, they found in their hacking program channels, which on an ordinary PC is disassembling firmware Nokia 1100, allows the exchange rates IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) and IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity). Izmenenennaya firmware is copied back to the ROM-memory is that this model allows for rewriting. After that cloned SIM-card of the victim (it is technically trivial task) - and the phone is ready to work under someone else's number. Nokia has not yet officially commented on this information. But before she made a statement that does not believe in the existence of a vulnerability in the firmware Nokia 1100. | |
