"Your Phone's 5G Connection Is Vulnerable to Bypass, DoS Attacks"

Mobile devices are vulnerable to data theft and Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks due to flaws in 5G technologies. A team of seven Penn State University researchers discovered how hackers can go beyond sniffing a user's Internet traffic by providing the user's Internet connection. The hackers could then conduct phishing, eavesdropping, and more. According to the team, the attack is quite accessible, involving commonly overlooked vulnerabilities and equipment that can be purchased online. This article continues to discuss the study "Cracking the 5G Fortress: Peering Into 5G's Vulnerability Abyss."
