5G Hackathon 2023 contest by Department of Telecommunications (DoT)

I'll show you yours if you show me mine - this is the conversation between two hackers. How to believe a hacker? If he/she proves your Email password, ATM PIN and smartphone unlocks etc. then you could partially believe him / her. 5G hacking just got a lot more interesting. 5G hackable? Can it be saved? How API attacks unfold in the latest 4G or 5G IoT mobile networks? 

 

5G standards have improved on known security and privacy issues found in previous network generations, but also open new hacking frontiers.
