A man in glasses and a denim shirt stands in front of a blue-lit wall covered with code or text. He holds a tablet in one hand and points to the wall with the other, suggesting engagement in analysis or teaching. The setting appears to be a modern, tech-oriented work environment.

Mobile security research acknowledgements

The primary mechanism for recognising the positive impact of reporters

The GSMA’s mobile security research acknowledgements page lists security vulnerability reporters who have made contributions to increasing the security of the mobile industry by submitting disclosures to the GSMA or its members. It is the primary mechanism for the GSMA to recognise and acknowledge the positive impact the reporter has had on the mobile industry by following the GSMA’s coordinated vulnerability disclosure (CVD) process.

On behalf of the mobile industry, we would like to thank the following people for making a disclosure to us and recognise their contribution to increasing the security of the mobile industry.

In the final months of 2024, the organisations and people who have contributed are:
