The secret life of SIM cards (2013)
in 2010??? v2/v3 sims were already popular in 2008, and its impossible to clone those (extract ki and imsi)
unless sims in brazil were that outdated/insecure at the time

It's not impossible, large carriers are still using DES to sign the OTA updates. Using rainbow tables you can crack the key and install an app which can break out of the sandbox and read the ki and IMSI.
