(2010-08-09) Paget Fake Gsm

Chris Paget, who also showed yesterday how he can hack into radio frequency identification tags (RFID) from a distance, created a fake cell phone tower, or Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) base station... with just about $1,500 worth of equipment... Paget’s system disables the encryption in the system, and the GSM network complies and never sends a warning message.
