THC cracks Vodafone network, can listen to all calls
The Hacker's Choice (http://www.thc.org) announced a security problem with Vodafone's Mobile Phone Network today allowing an attacker to eavesdrop on ANY UK Vodafone customer's phone call.
The technical details are available at http://wiki.thc.org/vodafone. THC was not immediately available for comments but an associated member of the group commented that 'the problem lies within Vodafone's Sure Signal / Femto equipment'. A Femto Cell is a tiny little home router which boosts the 3G Phone signal. It's available from the Vodafone Store to any customer for 160 GBP.
