Last year a student discovered that Slovenian military and police communications system TETRA isn't configured to encrypt: https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fpodcrto.si%2Fpolicisti-kazensko-preganjajo-studenta-ki-je-razkril-varnostne-ranljivosti-tetre%2F https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=auto&tl=en&u...
The official response was to terrorize and prosecute, even in cases of responsible disclosure. Of course, it's impossible for them to fix issues that arise from insecure design, but they also seem to be ignorant of the Streisand effect.
As somebody else commented, we have yet to reach the tipping point, when general public becomes concerned with the privacy of mobile networks. Mainstream TV shows like this one might bring that moment closer. I just hope they do enough fear-mongering before deadly crime happens, or people gradually accept lack of privacy as the norm. The former is tragic, and the latter paves the way for oppression.
