Brian Greenberg :verified:<p>A federal appeals court just rejected T-Mobile’s attempt to dodge $92 million in fines for selling customer location data without consent. 👏 The FCC fined T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon last year for leaking real-time location info to aggregators like LocationSmart and Zumigo. That data was later abused by bad actors, including law enforcement agencies buying access through third parties. 🤬 </p><p>What’s striking is that the carriers didn’t deny what happened. Instead, they argued it wasn’t actually illegal under the Communications Act. Judges disagreed, calling their interpretation “strained” and labeling the conduct “egregious” since it continued even after abuses were exposed. This decision matters because it reinforces that location data is sensitive by default, not just when tied to a phone call. AT&T and Verizon’s cases are still in the courts, but the precedent here is clear: carriers can’t treat real-time customer location data as just another product to sell. </p><p>TL;DR<br>⚠️ T-Mobile, Verizon, & AT&T sold your data w/out consent!<br>🔐 $92M fine stands<br>🧑⚖️ Court calls conduct egregious<br>📂 AT&T & Verizon rulings next</p><p><a href="https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/08/t-mobile-claimed-selling-location-data-without-consent-is-legal-judges-disagree/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">arstechnica.com/tech-policy/20</span><span class="invisible">25/08/t-mobile-claimed-selling-location-data-without-consent-is-legal-judges-disagree/</span></a><br><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Privacy</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Telecom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Telecom</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/DataSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DataSecurity</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Regulation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Regulation</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/security" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>security</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/cloud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cloud</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/infosec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>infosec</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/cybersecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cybersecurity</span></a></p>

Dendrobatus Azureus<p>This is something you need to read in order to believe</p><p>subject: VoLTE<br>provider O2 UK<br>nightmare: infosec</p><p>Enormous. Outragerous are some of the words I would use. Take you time to read and learn because they are not the only culprits on the planet with such bad data protection practices</p><p>Excerpt</p><p>>></p><p>Quite quickly I realised something was wrong. The responses I got from the network were extremely detailed and long, and were unlike anything I had seen before on other networks. The messages contained information such as the IMS/SIP server used by O2 (Mavenir UAG) along with version numbers, occasional error messages raised by the C++ services processing the call information when something went wrong, and other debugging information. However, most notable were a set of five headers near the bottom of the message:</p><p>SIP Msg<br>...<br> P-Mav-Extension-IMSI: 23410123456789<br> P-Mav-Extension-IMSI: 23410987654321<br> P-Mav-Extension-IMEI: 350266809828927<br> P-Mav-Extension-IMEI: 350266806365261<br> ...<br> Cellular-Network-Info: 3GPP-E-UTRAN-FDD;utran-cell-id-3gpp=2341010037A60773;cell-info-age=26371</p><p>Synthesised excerpt of IMS signalling message for demonstration; not a genuine IMEI/IMSI/cell ID.</p><p>Two sets of IMSIs, two sets of IMEIs, and a Cell ID header. How curious…</p><p>Sure enough, when comparing both the IMSIs and IMEIs in the message to those of my own devices, I had been given both the IMSI and IMEI of my phone which initiated the call, but also the call recipient's.</p><p><<<br>^Z</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/O2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>O2</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/UK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UK</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/TeleCom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TeleCom</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/InfoSec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>InfoSec</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/DataLeak" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DataLeak</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/WTF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WTF</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://mastdatabase.co.uk/blog/2025/05/o2-expose-customer-location-call-4g/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">mastdatabase.co.uk/blog/2025/0</span><span class="invisible">5/o2-expose-customer-location-call-4g/</span></a></p>
