The Wall Street Journal reported on a major breach of U.S. telecom systems attributed to a sophisticated Chinese -government backed hacking group.
The hack took advantage of systems built by ISPs like Verizon , AT&T , and Lumen Technologies (formerly CenturyLink) to give law enforcement and intelligence agencies access to the ISPs’ user data.
The idea that only authorized government agencies would ever use these channels for acquiring user data was always risky.
