 London, 29th September 2010 - Reports are being released that French police have arrested a ring of mobile phone hackers involved in fraud worth millions of Euros. Nine people have been arrested, including employees of mobile phone companies.

 The French fraudsters were buying codes to unlock victims’ SIM cards for €3 from employees of mobile phone companies who had access to the companies’ databases. They then sold the codes online for €30. Using these codes hackers could access any SIM card – even overseas SIMs – with their own mobile phones.

According to Amichai Shulman, CTO of data security specialist Imperva, “The employees did not hack into the database; it was an internal attack where they abused normal functionality and privileges granted to them.  This was probably a case of over privileged users as these employees probably should not have been granted access to that data in the first place.

Cambridge, 15 September 2010 – ip.access, the award-winning developer of femtocell and picocell solutions, has signed a femtocell technology development agreement with Qualcomm Incorporated. Terms of the development agreement allow ip.access to develop WCDMA residential and enterprise femtocell products using Qualcomm’s Femtocell Station Modem™ (FSM™) chipset platform. ip.access is also a licensee of Qualcomm’s femtocell patent licensing program.

Femtocells are low power access points that create a mobile phone signal in homes, offices, shops and other locations that are hard to reach using a regular outdoor mobile phone network. They provide a cost-effective way for mobile network operators to add extra coverage and capacity to their networks, thereby improving their customers’ experience of using a mobile phone.

15 February 2010 – ip.access, developer of 2G and 3G in-building wireless solutions, today announced that it was chosen by leading French fixed and mobile operator Bouygues Telecom to provide 2G picocells for its enterprise customers across France. Bouygues Telecom has more than 10 million subscribers nationwide, making it France’s third largest mobile operator, and was recently rated number one for customer relations in mobile telephony.

Bouygues Telecom chose the ip.access nanoGSM system to provide valuable extra 2G and EDGE cellular coverage to enterprise customers exactly where it is needed - such as indoors and in areas of high network traffic.
