Question Remote Cloning/Shadowing of SIM


Dear Experts.

Recently came across mind boggling concept of remote cloning or Shadowing of Sim. Now a days hackers places a call on target number from any of the telemarketing numbers.

If the call is picked up, your SIM parameters are cloned to their system. After this your entire communication runs parallel on their system. They can read you, listen to you like sitting next to you.

The case is even worse if you are connected to Internet, a configuration file would be placed in your handset and your handset starts obeying their commands like a slave.

It is real difficult to trace them back since the numbers (you received a call from) would be of some other country (VOIP gateway). There is no need to put a formal request for interception of mobile communication with authorities, so without creating any such record, logs and traceback they are accomplishing the required.

I do not know how readers would react to this but thats a fact.

Can any wise guy can suggest any firewall/detection/prevention mechanism to overcome this issue? You would do a great favor to community.

Thanks

Dear Fatmox
I did not share the info for a subsequent validation, if u want to believe its OK if not Its still OK. As far as proof is concerned I have myself got victimized and has lost an important court case resulting this. I have paid a price, u will also believe this when you do the same. Wishing you all the best!
