Attacks on mobile networks: An overview of new security challenge

In this paper, the authors address issues regarding the attacks on mobile networks. Firstly, the mobile network security is described as well as the risk to be faced with mobile network. Then it follows with the some issues in mobile network security and attack. The authors then reviewed previous work in understanding mobile network attacks and the popular attacks on mobile network namely the bluetooth and mobile ad-hoc.
