SUMMARY:Hacking like Paris Hilton 14 years later - and still winning!
DESCRIPTION:Simswap attacks has increased in recent years\, with several hi
 gh-profile cases in the media showing very fast & effective ways of duping
  people or getting access to valuable accounts . All the way back in 2006 
 Paris Hilton got accused of hacking into the voicemail of Lindsay Lohan\, 
 while similar scandals has been observed since then in other countries as 
 well.\n\nAsking around in my home country of Norway\, neither simswap atta
 cks or voicemail hacking seemed to be known among most infosec people\, or
  at least not part of anyone's risk analysis. So I decided to take a close
 r look.\n\nThe results were shocking at many levels\, from technical level
 s to political decisions & apathy. Several million customers of 3 differen
 t carriers in 3 countries were exposed to potential voicemail hacking for 
 up to 13 years. A fake business card was enough to do a simswap & hijack t
 he number of a famous female blogger\, while credential stuffing against a
  mobile carrier allowed for account hijacking of women who used SMS 2FA wi
 th their accounts at various services.\n\nThis talk will explain what I fo
 und\, what I did\, and how it changed carriers\, government agencies\, pol
 itics & law.\n\nSpeaker(s): Per Thorsheim\n\nLocation: Crypto & Privacy Vl
