Salt Typhoon is serious and underlines the sad state of cyber security in general. The lack of eviction I agree makes this much worse.

“Might be too big and too complicated to explain.”

Brendan Carr (the new FCC boss) has been an FCC Commissioner since 2017 and I'm not sure I've seen him stand up to a major telecom at absolutely any point highly doubtful he'll suddenly start now

They're just getting started

not surprising considering the majority of US citizens are totally apathetic to this kind of stuff. many people you talk to about this will say "they have all my data from X, Y, and Z leaks from 10+ years ago so who cares". it's such an uphill battle

Not enough people are aware of how widespread this hack is.

Wait till Trump appoints Barron to head up ‘puters in America.

@karlbode.bsky.social This is nothing new. But that it’s hit the news at all means it’s so big this time, the authorities feel compelled to say something.

All the tech giants that are responsible for guarding networks and data get hacked. What's new? The depth and breadth of the penetration?

by highlighting TikTok instead-, it got a billionaire to travel to Mar-a-Emoluments.

Incredibly weak #cybersecurity at the #ISPs and #carriers

Are you sure it’s even 4%? 🤔 I thought it was more like well very close to zero.

The Press: Only shiny objects please.

To be fair, that seems pretty spot on considering how cybersecurity is typically budgeted for in companies.

So fucking crazy. They’re just in the network and probably can’t be removed.

The other day I applied the “imagine the worst case” method that gave us the menu of perceived TikTok risks to the worst case risks (for security) of a TikTok ban. Enjoy. herecomes.transpacifica.net/p/imagining-...

Up to a point Lord Copper. "Salt Typhoon" and more heard around country on @the1a.org w Dina Temple-Raston the1a.org/segments/unp...

I still don't understand why they bother. They can probably just buy the data from legal data brokers with no foreign hacking required at all.

The FBI has been a little busy with the CEO shooter.

And an even smaller percentage of the coverage Hillary Clinton's email server that was never successfully hacked because her people had done a great job securing it. But, you know ...

The U.S. press is so broken and has been for such a long time.

"So far fascists are losing big time here at the Freedom Bowl. Team Freedom has two touchdowns so far...one in South Korea and one in Syria while Fascism has only scored a field goal in America. Judges still arguing about that last call..."

It's gone so far that CISA is advocating that everyone stop using SMS and RCS due to lack of encryption (RCS from android to IOS and vice versa is unencrypted) and switch to whatsapp or other platform independent encrypted messaging app.
