Great article as always remlaps :)
Quick question though, even if the packers from the device to the router are completely visible to anyone eavesdropping or even changing the packers in midair, wouldn't TLS encryption from the device to the server take up the security instead (and very well). It's about the same security risk as using public wifi if that's the case, a VPN + TLS (https on website url's) would more than cover it.
Please correct me if I'm wrong though
Thanks for the reply!
For the main points that he's making, I agree with you. Basically people just need to make sure they're using encryption and not counting on the network protocols for privacy.
The one thing that I think VPN + TLS would not protect against is denial of service or routing protocol attacks by a vendor under the control of a foreign government (He used Huawei as an example). But of course, that's the same for all networks, not just 5G.
