Compared with 2021, a full upgrade by 2030 could prevent over 72,000 cases of lung disease and more than 490,000 instances of anxiety each year.
Abstract—False Base Station (FBS) attack has been a severe security problem for the cellular network since 2G era. During handover, the user equipment (UE) periodically receives state information from
We designed and built a defense scheme which detects and blacklists a fake base station and then, informed by the detection, avoids it through link routing for connectivity availability.
In this paper, we present the first large-scale characterization of FBS spam ecosystem by collecting three-month real-world FBS detection results. First, at "macro-level", we uncover the
Terminals enforce strong encryption (e.g., AES, TLS) for data transmission. Fake base stations may try to intercept unencrypted or weakly encrypted traffic, but modern terminals prioritize
With over 7 million communication base stations globally powering our connected world, a critical question emerges: How secure are these critical nodes in our digital infrastructure?
Spatial: Crowd Targeted, Regional Customized Largely active near main roads and highly-populated regions for increasing influence Geo-distribution of FBS spam victims: China-wide (Left), Chengdu
Based on the above background, in order to solve the contradiction between the rapid construction of communication BS and the management of EMR environmental impact assessment
Fake base station (FBS) has been exploited by criminals to attack mobile users by spamming fraudulent messages for over a decade.
