INTRODUCTIONCLONING: Cloning is the creation of an organism
that is an exact genetic copy of another. This means that every single bit of DNA is the same between the two!
MOBILE PHONE CLONING: Mobile phone cloning is copying the identity of one mobile telephone to another mobile telephone. The bills for the calls go to the legitimate subscriber.
GSM & CDMA MOBILE SETS
• CDMA( Code Division Multiple Access). A method for transmitting simultaneous signals over a shared portion of the spectrum.
• GSM (Global System for Mobile) Communications. Any GSM phone becomes immediately programmed after plugging in the SIM card.
IMPORTANT TERMS
• IMEI stands for International Mobile Equipment Identifier.
• SIM, which stands for Subscriber Identification Module.
• ESN, which stands for Electronic Serial Number.
• MIN stands for Mobile Identification Number.
HOW IS A PHONE CLONED?
What Are The Symptoms?
• Frequent wrong numbers
• Calls that hang up after you answer
• Problems making outgoing calls
• Incoming calls that constantly get the busy signal
• Large phone bills to numbers you’ve never heard of
• Problems accessing your voicemail
METHODS TO DETECT CLONED PHONES
• Duplicate detection
• Velocity trap
• Usage profiling
• Call counting
• PIN codes
HOW TO PREVENT CLONING?
• Blacklisting of stolen phones is another mechanism to prevent unauthorized use.
• User verification using Personal Identification Number (PIN) codes.
• Tests conducted have proved that United States found that having a PIN code reduced fraud by more than 80%.
• Traffic analysis
FACTS AND FIGURES:• Southwestern Bell claims wireless fraud costs the
industry $650 million each year in the US.
• More than 1500 telephone calls were placed in a single day.
• Estimated loss at $3000 to $4000 for each.
• Telecom regulatory authority of India should issue directive, which holds the operators responsible for duplications.
