It has been reported that at 19th DEF Conf hacking conference the hackers were able to hack through the 4G and CDMA networks available at the conference. This hack exposes the weaknesses in these networks. Hack took place between August 4 and 7. It has been reported that a full man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack was successfully launched against all 4G and CDMA transmissions in and around the Rio Hotel in Las Vegas.

The attackers were able to inject custom packets into the 4G and CDMA data stream. These forged packets allowed the attackers to create on-screen prompts that, if clicked, installed a rootkit on the PC or Android device.
