Imagine if anyone could punch in a phone number from the largest U.S. cell carrier and instantly retrieve a list of its recent incoming calls—complete with timestamps—without compromising the device, guessing a password, or alerting the user. Now imagine that number belongs to a journalist, a police officer, a politician, or someone fleeing an abuser. This capability wasn’t a hypothetical. I recently identified a security vulnerability in the Verizon Call Filter iOS app which made it possible for an attacker to leak call history logs of Verizon Wireless customers.
