China targeted and might have held for months access to the infrastructure used to do wiretaps on the AT&T and Verizon networks.
This is a huge "told you so" moment for the cryptographic community that has been saying that such infrastructure does present a huge risk to national security. China reportedly used this capability for intelligence collection, obviously without a warrant ...

unlike the penetration of SCADA by ‘Volt Typhoon’, apparently focused on depositing capabilities to be utilized later, ‘Salt Typhoon’ seems to have been actively exploited. & no, I do not know enough to make any definitive statements.

aww, does the widdle app’s business model collapse completely once it can’t harvest data? how sad
this reinforces a suspicion that I’ve had for a while: the only reason most people put up with any of this shit is because it’s an all or nothing choice and they don’t know the full impact (because it’s intentionally obscured). the moment you give them an overt choice that makes them think about it, turns out most are actually not fine with the state of affairs
