Indian police believes that 5G technology is a threat to the security of the country and can lead to an increase in cybercrime. This sounded from the police during the conference, which was attended by India Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
In their report, the police indicated that the new technology uses easily accessible and open Internet protocols. In addition, the technology inherited the vulnerability of previous generations. Criminals can take advantage of the vulnerabilities of the standard for money laundering, drug trafficking, selling weapons and other illegal acts.
The danger of increasing the number of cyber attacks also increases, which is due to the fact that after connecting to 5g, millions of devices will be constantly connected to the Internet.
According to law enforcement officers, complex cybersecurity is a key factor in security when using 5G. In addition, it is necessary to warn consumers about possible threats, and equipment should be purchased from reliable sources.
