Banned recording reveals: China ambassador threatened Faroese leader at secret meeting

China's ambassador to Denmark threatened the Faroese prime minister by indicating that a trade agreement would be dropped if the autonomous Danish archipelago does not sign a 5G contract with technology giant Huawei, Berlingske can now reveal.

#China ambassador to #Denmark, Mr. Feng Tie, made overt #threats to prominent members of the #Faroese #government in order to secure a strategically important contract for the #Chinese telecoms giant #Huawei, by indicating that the Chinese government would drop a free trade agreement with the Faroe Islands if the company did not get the contract.

This appears from an #audio #recording which was subsequently banned from publication, #Berlingske can now reveal.

The recording marks the first instance where the Chinese government has linked access to China's huge market to Huawei being awarded contracts for #5G #networks in #Europe. Huawei has publicly stated that it is a private company with no ties to the Chinese state.

For the past seven days, the Faroese government has sought to keep the recording a secret by getting an injunction to prevent the Faroese TV station Kringvarp Føroya from publishing its content. Kringvarp Føroya had planned to reveal the recording in a Faroese news broadcast Monday a week ago.

But as Berlingske can now reveal, the audio clip clearly indicates how the Chinese top #diplomat used the meeting to unequivocally tie the Huawei contract to wider trade interests, which would particularly affect the Faroe Islands' large and growing exports of salmon to China.

Revealed: China suspected of spying on Americans via Caribbean phone networks

Security expert claims Chinese surveillance may have affected tens of thousands of Americans

China appears to have used mobile phone networks in the Caribbean to surveil US mobile phone subscribers as part of its espionage campaign against Americans, according to a mobile network security expert who has analysed sensitive signals data.

The findings paint an alarming picture of how China has allegedly exploited decades-old vulnerabilities in the global telecommunications network to route “active” surveillance attacks through telecoms operators.

The alleged attacks appear to be enabling China to target, track, and intercept phone communications of US phone subscribers, according to research and analysis by Gary Miller, a Washington state-based former mobile network security executive.

— LibreCellular 21.04 documentation – https://librecellular.org/

The LibreCellular project aims to make it easier to create #4G cellular #networks with open source software and low cost software-defined radio (#SDR) hardware. Seeking to achieve this via validated hardware and software configurations that are subjected to rigorous testing, together with additional tooling and #documentation for repeatable deployment.

LibreCellular will build on the work of numerous existing open source software and hardware projects, related to both the #cellular platform itself and associated test #infrastructure. Where necessary additional components will be developed, with any software source code and #hardware designs published under #opensource licences. The focus is very much on integration, testing, packaging and documentation, reusing and building upon existing solutions..

GSM Voice Decryption From Start To Finish (2G Non-Hopping Only)

The GSM data used in the making of this video was recorded and decrypted with unanimous consent from the owner(s) for the purpose of demonstrating the 2G decoding features of gr-gsm and for evaluating cellular network security.

Due to it's complexity and difficulty, decoding 2G phone calls is considered by most to be the hardest task to accomplish in the realm of GSM decoding. Differing voice codecs, varying channel data rates, arbitrary allocation of frequency hopping and carrier-specific network configurations add too many variables into the mix to make it a straight-forward enough goal to achieve.

I showcase the entire 2G voice decryption process from start to finish, excluding the actual recording of the GSM data

This video was made for purposes of education & experimentation only #IMSI-CATCHING, #SMS-SNIFFING and voice call #interceptior on #CELLULAR #NETWORKS is illegal & punishable by hefty fines & imprisonment

Finding You: The Network Effect of Telecommunications Vulnerabilities for Location Disclosure | The Citizen Lab –

The information collected by, and stored within, mobile networks can represent one of the most current and comprehensive dossiers of our life. Our mobile phones are connected to these networks and reveal our behaviours, demographic details, social communities, shopping habits, sleeping patterns, and where we live and work, as well as provide a view into our travel history. This information, in aggregate, is jeopardized, however, by technical vulnerabilities in mobile communications networks.
