The vast majority of 3G and 4G USB modems handed out by mobile operators to their customers are manufactured by a handful of companies and run insecure software, according to two security researchers from Russia.

Their findings were presented Thursday at the Black Hat Europe 2013 security conference in Amsterdam.
