Expert Comments:  

Jake Moore, Security Specialist at ESET:

“If 5G networks communicate our actions to an outside observer secretly, it could be devastating for civil liberties in the UK. It seems sensible therefore that every protective measure is taken by the government. Even with the best will in the world, our threat intelligence sees attempted hacks on hardware millions of times every single day, so it pays to be cautious.”
