TURN OFF YOUR PHONE OCTOBER 3RD? | Trump SMS IMSI-Catcher Detection Warning

in #news6 years ago

Whats happening with all these Channels Freaking out about these Trump SMS Messages going out? Maybe folks are saying these SMS messages are going to trigger your phone to take photo's of the phone's user and other location data for all the types of possible phones on the network. Marfoogle News was getting into how Snowden had exposed infomration about this. We are going to dig into what's actually going on with the SMS networks and how they can be operated. Then we will review IMSI Catching technology and make sure we are all on the same page on how things work. Then we will finish up with the history on the knowledge of this problem in the cell phone network and why it's allowed.

Covert cellphone tracking apparatus, that have proliferated in law enforcement agencies around the country, have been utilized from the New York Police Department on 1,000 events since 2008 at the course of exploring rapes, murders and other crimes, in addition to in searches for lost individuals, according to records obtained from the New York Civil Liberties Union. FEMA will examine a nationwide emergency notification system Wednesday that sends a push vibrating and alert tone to each wireless telephone in the nation together with the words "Presidential Alert." The Presidential Alert alarm will probably be like Amber Alerts or inclement weather warnings which have vibrated cellphones for many decades. However, at 2:18 p.m. EST Wednesday, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will examine the first of 2 brand new wireless emergency alarm clocks across U.S. mobile towers for half an hour. The next alert, at 2:20 p.m., enables President Donald Trump to speak with the country through television and radio broadcasts.

FEMA's site describes how Trump is going to have the ability to streamline communicating to mobile users in the event of a crisis via the Emergency Alert System (EAS). "The EAS is a national public warning system which offers the President with all the communications capacity to cover the country during a national crisis," the website says. The focus of this hearing appeared driven by recent press reports showing that backpack-sized surveillance apparatus -- called IMSI catchers or even Stingrays -- are still working near the White House along with other sensitive places across the USA.Throughout the hearing, which emphasized the fact that texts and calls of each American are vulnerable to interception and eavesdropping through these apparatus, members of Congress and the board of experts discussed the challenges associated with discovering IMSI catchers and Stingrays before finishing, properly, that no guaranteed method is different to discover them.

Nevertheless, nobody zeroed in on the actual question, which can be: even though they are discovered, so what? The truth is that attempting to discover such attacks is futile because differentiating the IMSI catchers does nothing to prevent their interception of information. Focusing on this a futile practice in cellular safety elicits the proverbial"forest for the trees" and probably indicates a faulty strategy. In reality, the a lot more dire threat is that posed by the interoperability of the global telecommunications infrastructure, particularly, the SS7 and Diameter protocols which may be used to intercept messages and calls from the opposite side of Earth. A global cellular subscriber identity-catcher, or IMSI-catcher, is a phone eavesdropping apparatus utilized for intercepting cell phone traffic and monitoring location information of cell phone users Basically a"bogus" mobile tower behaving between the goal cellular phone along with the service supplier's real towers, it's thought to be a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack. But, sophisticated attacks could be able to downgrade 3G and LTE into non-LTE network services that do not require mutual authentication.

What this means is that while it may not happen like he explained there is a strong indication of caution to be had.
