5G will likely increase IPv6 penetration, resulting in more stuff with public IP's, resulting in more stuff with ancient unpatched software vulnerable to attack.
Why would Russia argue against technology that would allow cyber warfare on an unprecedented scale?
- aneutron 7y agoBold of you to assume that that ancient software doesn't have some hardcoded IPv4. I wonder if moving to IPv6 will in fact mean more cyberwarfare.
- ahje 7y agoMore specifically, I meant the ancient software of the future -- not the stuff that's ancient today. I am convinced that IOT + a large-scale acceptance of IPv6 will result in the Internet being one big battleground.
