Recently there was talk about the attacks on Gemalto, the security company and tech contractor that provides SIM Cards to the majority of mobile network operators in the world including local networks like Netone. Gemalto then released a press release sharing results of its own investigation into the matter.
According to the investigations there is the room to believe that the attacks referenced in Snowden leaks occurred because of intrusions that Gemalto observed on its networks in 2010 and 2011.
The biggest relief for mobile networks like Netone according to Gemalto the security breach only extended to its office networks and couldn't have resulted in the theft of a massive number of encrypted keys.
The attacks were specific and targeted at mobile network operators in Afghanistan, Yemen, India, Serbia, Iran, Ireland, Somalia, Pakistan and Tajikistan.
