Telecom operators are at the heart of our societies, and all the citizens have a mobile phone today, which makes the operators an ideal target. This presentation will get more in depth into specific threat actors which are supporting the work of global surveillance companies.


Telecom operators are at the heart of our societies, and all the citizens have a mobile phone today, which makes the operators an ideal target. This presentation will get more in depth into specific threat actors which are supporting the work of global surveillance companies and attacking all operators around the world. We will go over the investigations we have conducted on attacks targeting the operators of many countries across the globe and the impact for the populations and national security of these countries.

Passionate about Telecom Networks and their security, I explore since more than 10years critical infrastructures around the world. I work today at POST Luxembourg in the Cyberforce Labs & Innovation aiming to improve the global telecom threat intelligence community and creating security solutions for mobile operators.
I had the chance to talk and give trainings at Hack.lu, HITB, Troopers, CCC, GSMA FASG, ENISA Telecom Security Forum, BSIDES Luxembourg & ETIS, sharing core network and protocol vulnerabilities among the community.
