Vulnerabilities In Standalone 5G Networks Expose Users To Information Theft Cybers Guards
Present 5G networks are non-standalone implementations built on the current 4G LTE system, however in the next five years, telecommunications providers are expected to participate significantly in the transition to standalone implementations. And although non-standalone 5G networks are vulnerable to attacks targeting Diameter and GTP protocol bugs, it is possible to attack standalone 5G networks via HTTP/2 and PFCP protocol weaknesses, Constructive Technology states in a recently published paper. Possible attacks will threaten customers and the network of the provider and may come from the network of the operator, the overseas roaming network, or affiliate networks that provide access to services....
