  Hey guys, China hacked our domestic spy infrastructure. We didn’t see this coming, like at all. Oops.

  Turns out when you put a fucking back door in stuff so you can use it, eventually someone else finds it.

  The hackers were able to listen to phone calls and read text messages, reportedly exploiting the system U.S. authorities use to wiretap Americans in criminal cases.

  Oh no, the predictable consequences of violating privacy. Anyway don’t let me get in the way of any China bad posting from this

  Maybe China is hacking into US telecoms, but this article provides no actual evidence to back up this claim. Its citations are a WSJ article which only sources a chain of other WSJ articles and a WaPo article which doesn’t provide any sources at all.

  “Unlike some of the European countries where you might have a single telco, our networks are a hodgepodge of old networks. […] The big networks are combinations of a whole series of acquisitions, and you have equipment out there that’s so old it’s unpatchable.”

  … I’m very confused by their stupidity. If it’s “too old to patch”, than get a new one, just like everyone else has to do with aging computers and phones. Yeah, it’s expensive, but you can afford it.

  And in a move not seen since Father Stone last visited Craggy Island, America said with a straight face and tone: “Okay.”

  We need to get our shit together.

    I want a new end to end encrypted standard to either add on to or replace MMS.

    Maybe also find a way to secure SS7 if that’s even possible

    I think they opposite. They are bound to use the data to train an AI. In doing so they are about to create the stupidest thing that ever exsisted.
