Security updates are being shipped out to mobile operators across the world to fix vulnerabilities in more than two billion eSIMs.
The vulnerabilities impact Kigen's eUICC (embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card), a software package provided to mobile network operators to support eSIM technology.
eSIMs allow mobile operators to ship a software-based SIM to a device. The technology is mainly used for issuing temporary SIMs to travelers and to add mobile connectivity to IOT devices that can't fit a SIM card slot.
