In 5G, there can be a type of eavesdropping attack:
This is a type of attack in which an attacker eavesdrops on your traffic to and from UE devices, and obtains confidential user information.
To protect against this, 5G uses SUPI and SUCI, 5G-GUTI.An example of a threat against GUTI can be found
in an incoming call or message where the network directs the UE to its last known location. This is sent as plain text without any authenticity or integrity protection over the paging channel.Exploiting this sent paging message can lead to location tracking. 🦠There are also signaling threats in 5G📡:
With malware, signal storms can be used to overload RANs and CNs.In some cases, this attack can also be used to drain the battery of a mobile device using the PSM introduced in 3GPP Release 12.
And an attacker can use this feature to drain the battery.
Research in the articles below has shown that the registration
process is not interrupted even if the integrity check fails on the MME.
In this context, the TAU message is vulnerable and can be modified to cause a battery drain. As you can see 5G is not as secure as it may have seemed at first glance .

And remember don't buy a hat from a hatter if he's crazy🎩
