Every LTE call, text, can be intercepted, blacked out, hacker finds

        The Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) telco body has
        known of the hack since at least 2006 when it issued a
        document describing Zhang's forced handover attack, and
        accepts it as a risk. The 3GPP's SA WG3 working group which
        handles security of LTE and other networks proposed in a May
        meeting that it would refuse-one-way authentication and drop
        encryption downgrade requests from base stations.
