Over the last decades, numerous security and privacy issues in all three active mobile network generations have been revealed that threaten users as well as network providers. There is a broad set of attacks that affect the users’ privacy and data secrecy, the mobile network operators’ revenue, and the availability of the infrastructure. The below resource gives a clear picture of the mobile network background, a systematic methodology that categorizes known attacks by their aim, proposed defenses, underlying causes, and root causes.
