Novel 5G Attack Bypasses Need for Malicious Base Station

Researchers detail new vulnerability in 5G connection process A team from Singapore University of Technology and Design has revealed a 5G attack method that works without deploying a rogue base station. Their Sni5Gect framework intercepts unencrypted messages during brief reconnection windows, letting attackers inject malicious payloads and potentially crash or track devices. The attack works […] The post Novel 5G Attack Bypasses Need for Malici…

Researchers Unveil Open-Source Tool That Exposes 5G Network Flaws - Inside Towers

Security researchers from Singapore University of Technology and Design have released a new open-source tool designed to probe weaknesses in 5G mobile networks, claiming it can perform uplink and downlink “sniffing” alongside “other serious exploits” they have not yet disclosed. The framework, according to The Register, called Sni5Gect, “sniffs messages from pre-authentication 5G communication in real time,” explained researchers from the during…
