A Malicious SIM Card Can Run Attacker Code Inside the Modems Behind Cellular IoT Devices

A malicious SIM card can order the device it sits in to run commands of the attacker's choosing. On the cellular modules built into electric-vehicle chargers, industrial routers, and car telematics units, that is enough to take the whole device over. Researchers at the University of Birmingham an...

damn so check this out... basically some crazy smart researchers found out that a bad SIM card can straight up hijack IoT devices like EV chargers and industrial routers using this sneaky old command called RUN AT. if an attacker gets physical access to stick a malicious card in there, it gives...
