Η Ολλανδική εταιρεία constructionς καρτών SIM Gemalto δήλωσε χθες ότι τα δίκτυά της “πιθανώς” παραβιάστηκαν, αλλά δεν έχουν κλαπεί τα κλειδιά κρυπτογράφησης.
The company's statement was made during the publication of the internal findings researchς για τις αναφορές του Snowden who wanted the company's systems hacked by the NSA and GCHQ.
Η Gemalto, said the SIM cards it places on the market are safe. In the report published today, adds that it has put in place a new secure transport system for SIM keys with 2010 mobile operators and that the infringement would most likely not affect its activities.
The company also says that even if secret services were able to steal these keys, they would not be able to spy on mobiles using 2G, 3G and 4G as these connections are not susceptible to such attacks. The blanks security in the original 2G specifications they moved away with algorithms that are still used by mobile phone companies.
The findings reveal that Gemalto identified two hacks, in 2010 and 2011, which are believed to be by US and UK intelligence agencies.
What, in the end, no one knows, only the secret services and the company involved. An assumption of the breach by the Dutch company would have direct financial costs as we saw in our previous publication.
On the other hand, Snowden has no reason to lie, just as much as to substantiate what he claims with official documents from the secret services.
The conclusion is yours to make.
