Not up to snuff

5G suppliers and telcos are rapidly discovering that the bleeding edge tech is haemorrhaging bugs.

While 5G is being rolled out across cities there are a worrying amount of new 5G vulnerabilities are being discovered almost by the dozen.

At the Association for Computing Machinery's Conference on Computer and Communications Security in London today, researchers are presenting new findings that the 5G specification still has vulnerabilities. And with 5G increasingly becoming a reality, time is running out to catch these flaws.

The researchers from Purdue University and the University of Iowa are detailing 11 new design issues in 5G protocols that could expose your location, downgrade your service to old mobile data networks, run up your wireless bills, or even track when you make calls, text, or browse the web. They also found five additional 5G vulnerabilities that carried over from 3G and 4G. They identified all of those flaws with a new custom tool called 5GReasoner.
