Comment on O2 VoLTE: locating any customer with a phone call

Comments

O2 has claimed that the problem is now fixed: https://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2025/05/o2-uk-fixes-vo...

The submitted post was updated this morning

O2 reached out to me via email to confirm that this issue has been resolved. I have validated this information myself, and can confirm that the vulnerability does appear to be resolved.

From their statement "Our engineering teams have been working on and testing a fix for number of weeks". Can you image if a database was knowingly left unsecured for that long with data that sensitive and seemingly without telling anyone. It will be interesting to see how the ICO deal with this.
