“Research shows how much damage a bad actor can do with a rooted phone and a linked computer, disguising regular traffic to look like the new VoLTE protocols. Exploiting that vulnerability, Tu was able to dodge data charges, shut down a target’s data connection with a DDoS-like attack, or drive a victim’s data charges through the roof.  Tu’s attacks work entirely within the cell network, setting them apart from normal internet-based exploits and letting them bypass traditional operator firewalls. The result for most exploits would be a simple loss of service, as high-priority signal traffic crowds out everything else arriving on the phone.”
