Do you remember the Syniverse breach?
- Nextgrid 5y agoYes - carriers managed to find a company even more incompetent than themselves and outsourced sensitive data to them. It doesn't make SIMs insecure. No amount of authentication will help if the party you're authenticating to then decides to send your data to a compromised third-party. By the way, CDR processing (aka parsing CSV files and figuring out how much to charge - rocket science I know) is also routinely outsourced to the lowest bidders with no doubt terrible security practices: https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/5g-elephant-in-the-room/ https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/5g-elephant-in-the-room/
