SIM card security compromise

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hi,

 

I don't usually post here anymore, but just wondered if anybody knows whether O2 sim cards are amoungst those manufactured by Gemalto, which are now known to have been compromised by GCHQ.

 

If so, can we have them replaced with non-snooping versions?

Maybe so and I can't fault your thinking on this.

I just can't get excited about it right now. That might change when more of the story comes out mind

I doubt that this particular story is going to cause much of a stir, to be honest.  But I do work alongside people who are developing new ways to invade your privacy every day.  As such, I hope we can slow it down as much as possible.

 

You might not have anything illegal to hide, but just wait until you can't even whisper to a friend that you enjoyed a film last night without having special offers to buy it on DVD rammed down your throat, for example.
