While 5G addresses security issues in previous-generation wireless
networks, for example with enhanced encryption, anti-tracking,
anti-spoofing and network slicing features, security holes
cybercriminals could potentially exploit have been identified. Some of
the security vulnerabilities detected early on were linked to
previous-generation networks loopholes. These included ones that allowed
attackers to expose a user's location, downgrade their service to a
less secure legacy that was more easily attacked, run up costly wireless
bills and track users’ activities. more
