GSM communications wiretapping risks

Thanks to the great advancement of technology and software tools, GSM protocol has become an easy target for a third party intrusion and wiretapping. Most of the time, mobile phones are used as vehicles for confidential information: it’s therefore quite easy to understand how many risks our privacy is constantly exposed to. Just consider the following:

telecommunications operators, investigative agencies and intelligence organizations can make unauthorized tapping at any time;
in case of loss or theft of the mobile phone, the information contained in it can be easily analyzed;
there are highly skilled "crackers" who are able to penetrate the GSM phone lines, listen to conversations and even record them;
any computer "cracker" can directly access the operating system of a mobile phone device, by simply bypassing the phone line, in order to make unlawful wiretapping.

For some time now, telecommunications security and wiretapping experts have been claiming the GSM technology to be insecure and easily penetrable. PrivateGSM protects your communications from any type of wiretapping, by making the voice indecipherable through sophisticated voice encryption.
