So why is no one saying which ISP are affected?

Crowdstrike cant even get an update right, I am not surprised the Chinese can succeed

[jefreno]

that APT has probably been dormant for some time before they noticed...

Did the internet make our lives better? I'm old enough to remember life before the internet.

We didn't let tech bros take I'll the profits and shift all the risk onto you. Since they have no dog in the fight, they just skim the cream. And we are left holding the security bag. Privatization of public services and security created a large part of this mess.

A perfect time for hackers during a lame duck presidency

If you think that Sea Tac was the only "secure internet system" that the hackers broke into I got a riverfront property I want to sell you.

All the major cell phone companies sell your info anyway what’s the big deal I guess they don’t like competition stealing!

We have observed a significant increase in unsolicited network traffic originating from foreign IP addresses targeting our routers and firewalls.

Every country hacks, imagine what we have going on with our control of subsea cables

[rabbithowls]

Your info is already out there, and has been for a while. Get used to it.
Tech companies are about getting product out as fast as possible, to keep up with competitors. This leads to cutting corners, and security vulnerabilities. Hackers are about finding those vulnerabilities and exploiting them. They can never ever be stopped, only slowed down.

Wow is this related to the Internet outage earlier in August 2024?

[hypnophonz]

Can't find the city named Bay Zhhhing that
the Western media is always talking about.

[BrianDarcy-]

How does our government allow such things, do they ever act on anything???

[Darkmatter]

China China China China China China... This China demonizing is getting a bit boring

[Eliza]

That’s true for the Chinese to do often.

[gregwang]

Games people play, don’t make it look like you are the only victim, don’t forget you invented this game, you are the top dog.

[Ghostintheshell]

so is america ever going to hit them back ?

[Ghostwriter]

Need to somewhow BLOCK these mo-foes altogether, from tapping in.

[racquelperez]

They probably knew about the vulnerability. They was probably using it too. Samething with your st. cameras. Are the isp’s going to send out notices? Am I safe whats spying in this context, what did they get?

[janinak]

How dare they - only we are allowed to do that!
