Leonid Burakovsky, senior director of strategic solutions at F5 told the daily that while this makes it faster, the methods taken to achieve these speeds also make it more vulnerable.'What the industry has done with 4G/LTE is taken a self-contained telephone network, secured primarily by virtue of being separate from the internet, and then bolted-on internet capabilities which were never designed to prevent eavesdropping,' said Burakovsky.
Put simply, 3G networks use a protocol called SS7 to send signals, this protocol is notoriously difficult to penetrate.
