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.
