LTE/3G modems built into new business laptops and tablets could be a valuable target for hackers. Intel researchers demonstrated how a malware program could rewrite the firmware of a popular Huawei LTE modem module that’s included in many devices. The module runs a Linux-based OS, more specifically a modification of Android, independent from the computer’s main operating system. It’s connected to the computer through an internal USB interface, which means that it could be instructed to emulate a keyboard, mouse, CD-ROM drive, network card, or other USB device.”]
