In October 2024, Salt Typhoon was discovered to have exploited backdoors in US internet service provider networks used by law enforcement agencies to facilitate court-authorized wiretapping.[9] Affected networks included those of AT&T, Verizon, Lumen Technologies, and T-Mobile.
I wonder if these backdoors and other exploits were part of the trove of documents the former security risk in chief happened to have laying around.
“Hey, that’s our back door!!”
The networks are still compromised, and booting the hackers out could involve physically replacing “literally thousands and thousands and thousands of pieces of equipment across the country,” specifically outdated routers and switches, Warner said.
Telecoms using outdated equipment is on par for these boys.
In a system that makes sense we would nationalize these shitty companies that threaten national security.
