FCG.05 Security Issues in Femtocell Deployment 1.0 23 July 2008

"In addition to attacks against deployed femtocell access points, it is
important to remember how the equipment itself could potentially be
used for illegal purposes. It is important that femtocell equipment is
only supplied to reputable buyers as failure to do so opens up the
possibility of femtocell access points being used to support illegal
call selling and traffic routing activities, avoidance of lawful
interception, use as a false base station to launch manin-the-middle
attacks, etc. Of particular concern is the potential for femtocell
access points to facilitate the placement of fraudulent calls on 3G
networks."
