4G LTE network marks serious security errors !!!
A study of Purdue and Iowa University of the United States has found that there are some security flaws in the 4G LTE network, which allows miscreants to attack at least 10 types of attacks. It includes sending fake Emergency Alarms to users' phones, recording calls and messages, hiding in the customer's location, taking phone offline and so on.

Because of the error, the confidential information that requires access to the 4G LTE network is possible without the use of the special technique to access the network, certain operation of the user's phone is possible. According to the research paper, this requires a separate mechanical structure that costs only $ 1300
Researchers say they have succeeded in experimental hacking using 8 major security errors in the laboratory using the four main US mobile operator SIM cards. After fixing the errors, they will publish their Proof of Concept Code.
Of course, the problem with the mobile network is not new. In the future, 5G will bring more secure communication with many such bug fixes. But in the meantime 4G LTE needs more development. According to the researchers, it is possible.
