AdaptiveMobile specialists have published a report on new bugs in the 5G protocol, thanks to which it is possible to disable network segments (DoS) and steal user data, including location information. The issues identified are related to the 5G network partitioning mechanism that allows operators to split their infrastructure into smaller blocks dedicated to specific… Continue reading Experts have discovered bugs in the 5G protocol that allow tracking location and arranging of DoS attacks

5G and it’s possible effect on our lives
5G networks are declared as an amazing technology that can allow us to use different options of ultra high speed connection. The biggest 5G network in the world is located in China, where people can feel the 5G effect in summer 2020. But a lot of problems were uncovered after such massive testing. One of… Continue reading 5G and it’s possible effect on our lives
Vulnerabilities in old GTP protocol could affect 4G and 5G networks
Experts cautioned that vulnerabilities in the old GTP (GPRS Tunneling Protocol) could quite seriously affect the operation of 4G and 5G networks. In reports published last week and in December 2019, Positive Technologies and A10 Networks described in detail a number of vulnerabilities in this protocol. In particular, are known the following problems: Disclosure of… Continue reading Vulnerabilities in old GTP protocol could affect 4G and 5G networks
IMP4GT Vulnerability in LTE Threatens Almost All Modern Smartphones
Experts from Ruhr University reported an IMP4GT (IMPersonation Attacks in 4G NeTworks) problem. Modern LTE-enabled devices are vulnerable to IMP4GT, therefore, it threatens almost all smartphones, tablets, and IoT devices. A bug allows simulating another user’s operator’s network, which means an attacker will be able to issue paid subscriptions at the expense of other people… Continue reading IMP4GT Vulnerability in LTE Threatens Almost All Modern Smartphones
