According to the report, it takes advantage of bugs found within the firmware of cellphone chipsets sold my manufacturers such as Qualcomm and Infineon Technologies.. It's said that the hack is accomplished by setting up a fake cell tower to intercept target devices. The report also mentions that this was near impossible in the past, because components ran into the tens of thousands. However things are much cheaper now and can be done for roughly $2 grand. The link for this article located at iSmashPhone is no longer available. . A cybersecurity analyst identified a baseband exploit that affects smartphones by leveraging weaknesses in the firmware..
