Law enforcement and hackers use devices called IMSI catchers to mimic cell towers. Because the GSM firmware is designed to connect to the strongest signal, it will often "handshake" with these fake towers. Once connected, the firmware may be forced to downgrade its encryption, allowing the attacker to intercept calls and texts. 3. Backdoors and State Actors
