4G and CDMA reportedly hacked at DEFCON

    "For now the only evidence that such an attack occurred is the report
     of Coderman on the Full Disclosure mailing list. Coderman seems to be
     a relative veteran of security and open source mailing lists, though,
     and he says he has attended six DEF CONs. If he's telling the truth,
     then this attack would represent the first ever man-in-the-middle
     attacks on two networks that have so far proven to be unhackable. For
     the ailing and nigh-stillborn CDMA this isn't such a huge issue - but
     if 4G has fallen, just as AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, and cellular
     companies around the world begin to plow huge dollars into its roll
     out, this could be a massive blow."
