Hackers Can Remotely Record and Listen Calls from Your Samsung Galaxy Phones के तपाई hacker बन चहनुन्क्ष !!
Two security researchers, Daniel Komaromy of San Francisco and Nico Golde of Berlin, have demonstrated exactly the same during a security conference in Tokyo.
The duo demonstrated a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack on an out-of-the-box and most updated Samsung handset that allowed them to intercept voice calls by connecting the device to fake cellular base stations. Read more:Click here

Blame Game: Ex-CIA Director Blames Edward Snowden For Paris Attack
Ex-CIA Director James Woolsey, who once said Snowden "should be hanged by his neck until he is dead,"has blamed NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden for revealing the agency's efforts to break encryption and for teaching terrorists how to avoid being caught.
Woolsey said, Snowden, who leaked a vast trove of classified files detailing the extent and workings of the United States intelligence system, is responsible for the Paris terror attacks and now has 'blood on his hands.'
According to Woolsey, it was Snowden's leak of top-secret documents about how American and British spy agencies monitor and track people worldwide that led terrorist groups like...
...ISIS and Al-Qaeda to adopt new communication methods, including end-to-end encryption channels, to avoid surveillance.
But, Why Blaming Snowden? It's Intelligence Failure
The tougher and more important question here is – If terrorists used encryption to plan the strikes in Paris, did they circumvent our spying agencies' Bulk Interception tools and offensive cyber operations?
"I was a bit surprised just by how quickly and blatantly – how shamelessly – some of them jumped to exploit the emotions prompted by the carnage in France to blame Snowden: doing so literally as the bodies still lay on the streets of Paris," the journalist Glenn Greenwald said, who has worked with Snowden to expose NSA secrets.
Bulk interception is the collection of the vast quantity of internet data, sometimes from thick undersea cables and then storing it in databases for a limited time.
However, the government's claims about the NSA bulk surveillance of email and phone records that the operations are to keep the country safe from terrorism are overblown and even misleading.
Surveillance of phone metadata has had no visible impact on preventing terrorist attacks, so it is a total failure of our intelligence agencies, and not Snowden.
The fact that, long before Snowden's leaks, our so-called intelligence agencies around the world failed to prevent many terrorist attacks, including:
- The Bali bombing in 2002
- The Madrid train bombing in 2004
- The 7/7 London attacks in 2005
- The series of attacks in Mumbai in 2008
- The Boston Marathon bombing in 2013 that took place in the intense security at the leading annual event in a major American city
However, after all these terrorist attacks, the government response has been uniform – Give the intelligence agencies more powers and greater abilities to track, surveil and monitor anyone they believe is suspicious.

The issue actually resides in the Samsung's baseband chip, which comes in Samsung handsets, that handles voice calls but is not directly accessible to the end user.
How to Intercept Voice Calls?
The researchers set up a bogus OpenBTS base station that nearby Samsung devices, including the latestSamsung S6 and S6 Edge, think is a legitimate cellular tower.
Once connected to it, the bogus base station remotely tinkers with the phone's baseband processor even without any knowledge of the user.
This gives an attacker ability to intercept, listen, and even record your phone calls. In short, the hack attack is a cellular MITM attack, and users have no idea what's happening

However, given the requirements to make such an attack possible, an everyday hacker can not be able to execute the hack.
"Our example of modifying the baseband to hijack calls is just an example," Komaromy told the Reg. "The idea with hijacking would be that you can redirect calls to a proxy and that way you can man-in-the-middle the call. So that means the caller sees her original call connected – but it can be recorded in the proxy [which is how] it is like a wiretap implant."
The pair has reported their findings to Samsung and kept the details of the attack out of the reach of the public. Hopefully, the company will address the securithole promptly.
