i'd recommend to watch the presentation https://media.ccc.de/v/mch2022-273-openran-5g-hacking-just-g... in which it's made clearer, that the telco part wasn't the issue. 5G systems can be operated rather secure, but operators or subcontractors that build these cloud installation have strange ideas about trust and config. On the topic of 'telcos don't take security seriously', CoryD recently wrote some wise words in https://pluralistic.net/2022/08/12/regulatory-uncapture/#con... "The public-private surveillance partnership is very old, and it's key to monopolists' strategy. It took 69 years to break up AT&T, because every time trustbusters came close, America's cops and spies and military would spring into action, insisting that the Bell System was America's "national champion," needed to defend it from foreign enemies. The Pentagon rescued Ma Bell from breakup in the 50s by claiming that the Korean War couldn't be won without AT&T's help" I know some people in designing 5G, that were rather frustrated by outside influence on "can we have another unsafe option also, just in case we need it?" |
