Could GSM phones have a major security flaw?

Most carriers didn't upgrade their security algorithms when they made the transition to UMTS from 2G GSM. So... yeah... We've known about this for a long time now...

Well, I don't have GSM service, and if memory serves, CDMA has yet to be hacked, so I am feeling pretty good. Bummer for the GSM folks, however. Especially if the security hole is due to carrier laziness. Nothing like a lawsuit to compel the carriers to tighten up their security.

iPhone definitely has a lot of tech savy users, proof?? Cydia and its 3rd party apps.. theres also a huge jailbreaking community out there..

bottom line is, both Android and iOS has their own tech savy users and those who just doesnt give a sh*t and just wanna use their phone normally..

This sucks for people living in developing countries, since the corporate companies on the said locations don't listen to anyone. They just like to make a lot of money for themselves... Never mind the consumers, who do not have an option btw.
