25C3: NOKIA EXPLOIT stops ALL INBOUND SMS
[Tobias Engel] released a severe Nokia vulnerability today. By utilizing a specially crafted SMS message, you can block the recipient from getting any type of future SMS messages. The attacker modifications their Protocol Identifier to “Internet electronic Mail” as well as then utilizes any type of email address 32 characters or a lot more in their message. The recipient will get no indicator that they got the message as well as no other messages will be enabled up until the phone is factory reset. You can see a demo video here. This impacts lots of different varieties of S60 phones as well as no repair is known.
