This blog will be mainly focused on my own experiences with computers and software. Both I am using now purely as a user and hobbyist. Also I comment on interesting news about ICT, privacy and combinations of both. In deze blog zal het voornamelijk gaan over ervaringen met computers en software waar ik tegenwoordig alleen nog hobbymatig mee bezig ben en mijn commentaar op imo interessante nieuwsberichten op het gebied van ICT, privacy en de combinatie van beide.

Mobiles forced to send premium-rate texts in new attack

The Register reports about a hack to attack the sim toolkit of gsm mobiles. When a provider does not filter those crafted messages a mobile will send a lot of sms to expensive phonenumbers. The bad news is that most providers in Europe do not filter those crafted messages at the moment. Hopefully they will start that very soon and before the crooks find out how abuse this "feature".
