bojkotiMalbona<p>I’ve heard that the <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/GSM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GSM</span></a> standard enables carriers to push <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/baseband" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>baseband</span></a> updates to users’ devices, and that devices simply trust all towers to have this control. So my theory is that the carrier pushed an update that bricked the GSM modem. Is that possible? I heard from an unreliable source that it’s no longer possible for towers to push updates. Is there a more likely scenario?</p>
