#5Ghoul: The 14 Shambling 5G Flaws Used For Disruptive Attacks On Smartphones
Nice Work…
https://asset-group.github.io/disclosures/5ghoul/
Kurzinfo: 14 Sicherheitslücken in der Firmware von 5G Modems, einige schwerwiegende. Betroffen sind mehr als 700 Endgeräte - Smartphones (unabhängig vom OS) und Modems in Routern, PKW, Industriesteuerungen…
Erstaunlich finde ich, wie einfach es zu sein scheint mit einem Laptop und einem Software-Defined-Radio Modul einen 5G Funkmast vorzutäuschen.
Na dann warten wir mal auf Updates…
5Ghoul: Singaporean researchers discover security flaws in almost all 5G smartphones #5g #5ghoul #cybersecurity #digitallife #featured #mediatek #news #qualcomm #smartphones #tech
And awaaayyy we go! #5Ghoul is a collection of 14 vulnerabilities that affect #5G modems from a small collection of vendors, which also affect 714 phone models from a dozen manufacturers. We're looking at #DoS attacks and #Downgrade attacks against cell networks and devices running the at-risk #firmware. If properly exploited, I see a cascading effect of failure for personal phones and IoT devices alike, and cell tower modems, resulting in a complete breakdown of #CriticalInfrastructure. Talk about potential for #MassChaos.
Remember, most countries on our planet rely heavily on cellular networks rather than landlines anymore for pretty much everything, including emergency alert systems and OTA data transmission.
I recommend you #CheckForUodates regularly on your phones and tablets to ensure you can be as protected as possible from this, and the millions of other threats, that are circulating out there.
