content: Came here to post this. What's more, a pin protects the sim card, not the shyte on the eeprom disk. sim manufacturers have master keys for the sim card, because it is involved in billing. if "pin" is meant as "numerical password" for an encrypted disk, you can crack it if you have physical access to that disk. If you know which crypto product is used, it is a matter of hours or even minutes with enough computronium, even if the key is longer than 8 digits. The report is highly dubious.
