Hi, guys, I would like to ask whether it is possible to somehow compromise a SIM card inside a dongle plugged into PC for internet connection.

Thanks!

With physical access or without physical access?

Sorry, but I am not sure what do you mean by that..

Can someone physically lay hands on the device?

Can someone physically lay hands on the device?

Well, my case concerns scenario when there is a compromised device utilizing internet connection emanating from that card. Whether malware can be passsed from the device to the card...

Provide more details and cite some references.

If someone can not physically access the device, I don't believe there is much chance of the SIM being compromised.

What is a SIM card & What does it do? | Digital Citizen

Unless you've never had a phone or a smartphone, it is unlikely that you haven't heard about SIM cards. Without them, you can't use your phone to call or send text messages to people. You might know this, but do you know what a SIM card is and why you need one? Do you have […]

"A SIM card is a pseudo-memory card, as it does have some memory inside. However, as you know now, that memory is used for storing a limited number of phone book contacts and SMS messages. The memory on a SIM card cannot be used for saving photos, videos, music, documents, or any other type of file."

Based on that description, unless it was something novel, I do not believe so.

People are expected to do their own homework, take home exams, term papers, research, or work assignments. Not hand it off to a third party be that third party a paid service or unpaid volunteers.

When a question is asked about a topic that is readily researched then, in my mind, the person asking the question has a responsiblity to do that research.

I have no problem, for the most part, with providing a couple of non-commerical links and references to start the research/find the answer process.

A commerical link could be used, again in my mind, if that link is a balanced tutorial that truly adds technical information and understanding.

Or a basic "yes/no" response.

Both sorts of response were posted above.

That said, if there are remaining questions or issues then that person should state what they believe to be the answers and why. Plus cite applicable resources and references.

And as for "services that deal with writing it" using such services is unethical and cheating. Plagiarism as well.
