  The Tactile Internet paradigm is set to revolutionize human society by
enabling skill-set delivery and haptic communication over ultra-reliable,
low-latency networks. The emerging sixth-generation (6G) mobile communication
systems are envisioned to underpin this Tactile Internet ecosystem at the
network edge by providing ubiquitous global connectivity. However, apart from a
multitude of opportunities of the Tactile Internet, security and privacy
challenges emerge at the forefront. We believe that the recently standardized
QUIC protocol, characterized by end-to-end encryption and reduced round-trip
delay would serve as the backbone of Tactile Internet. In this article, we
envision a futuristic scenario where a QUIC-enabled network uses the underlying
6G communication infrastructure to achieve the requirements for Tactile
Internet. Interestingly this requires a deeper investigation of a wide range of
security and privacy challenges in QUIC, that need to be mitigated for its
adoption in Tactile Internet. Henceforth, this article reviews the existing
security and privacy attacks in QUIC and their implication on users. Followed
by that, we discuss state-of-the-art attack mitigation strategies and
investigate some of their drawbacks with possible directions for future work
