I'm no 5G expert or network expert either. My understanding of all this should be considered n00b level.
From the article:
>His team found it was worryingly easy to move deeper into the networks they tested, thanks primarily to poorly configured “containers.” These are self-contained packages of software that bundle up an application and everything needed to run it—code, software libraries, and configuration files—so that it can be run on any hardware. Containers are a critical part of the cloud, because they allow different applications from different companies or departments to run alongside one another on the same servers. Containers are supposed to be isolated from one another, but if they are poorly configured it’s possible to break out and gain access to other containers or even to take control of the host system. In multiple instances Nohl and his team found misconfigured containers that allowed them to do just this.
This looks like a big problem to me since unsecured or poorly secured cloud data is increasingly a fat target for bad actors.
Can't you just point your installs to multiple containers with the actual useful container being tagged with one encrypted key and the other(s) poisoned with trojans, worms, crypto-jackers, bitcoin miners, etc to throw it back in their faces?
Alright, I'm dumb about this. I know it wouldn't work or they would do something similar. It would be funny though to send a pack of problems their way every time they messed with your system.
I just got my first 5G capable phone last week. Just in time for the fun stuff.
