The new high-tech 6G wireless technology could be hacked in five minutes using a piece of office paper, an inkjet printer, a metallic foil transfer and a laminator.
The security flaw which would allow hackers to eavesdrop on 6G wireless signals was discovered by engineering researchers from Rice University and Brown University, who will present their findings and demonstrate the attack this week in San Antonio at ACM WiSec 2022, the Association for Computing Machinery’s annual conference on security and privacy in wireless and mobile networks.
Study co-author Edward Knightly, Rice’s Sheafor-Lindsay Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, said: “Awareness of a future threat is the first step to counter that threat.
