Haven’t we always known this? It’s the same concept as a Stingray device, which is used to spy on people because their devices connect to it automatically, assuming it’s a normal cell tower. People don’t know what tower they’re connected to, so if you connect to a “fake” or exploited tower, you’ve basically handed over the keys. This is essentially the same thing, but on a 5g network, which is presumably made up of even more nodes/towers.
yawn. HTTPS solves this.
What, you mean like facebook and google?
Joke’s on them. I still use a flip phone, lol.
Ive installed so much crap voluntarily, I don’t think I have any private data left. Why would they even bother?
“Flaw”. Sure. Okay.
what is the benefit to end user from 5G?
And all these features for the threat actors lol
Higher peak data rate, lower latency, more network capacity are basically the main improvements for phone users. Partially because the whole radio protocol (among other things) was redesigned to reduce overhead and also because of the new mmWave bands which have enormous bandwidth.
I can’t tell the difference in everyday usage. Speeds are surely as fuck ain’t any better.
Was a massive improvement here. Went from 50mbps down with a decently long delay when loading new pages to 800Mbps with basically instant page loading.
I never seen anything nearing 800mbps for cell phones outsid of corpo propaganda but maybe your area is not as congests as tests in major cities
I am not in the downtown core, but and pretty well right in the middle of a 1 million population city. I do believe the 5G tower is on the building right beside mine though, so I may just be lucky.
