      I would bet they were doing it to intercept 2fa keys, so they can log in to your accounts at their leisure.

      I like how when the Chinese are doing it they are hackers (which is correct) but when the US government hacks your data and spies on you, they are “monitors”.

      Who could have know this was going to happen, besides all the security experts who warned this would happen?

      They want us to be outraged when Random boogeyman wiretap us, yet be passive when our own authorities break the constitution and spy on us.

      I’m more outraged about the latter. Bad guys are suppose to be bad guys. Also, I’ve been outraged since Edward Snowden told us.

      Remember, there’s no such thing as backdoors for “just the good guys”. It’s all just math.

      This is why we want to remove all nukes from the world. If it exists, it can be used, stolen, and abused. If you create backdoors, they can be compromised. If you create an army of gun toting robots, they can be compromised and the enemy can steal your soldiers.

      Love it.

      Security guard you pay to protect you notices that a door is broken. Doesn’t it fix it, instead uses it to intrude on your privacy.

      Let’s the guy he’s supposed to protect you from also invade your privacy by using the same door.

      NOBODY COULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING!

      Except, you know, all of us.

      They created a backdoor to the system and are angry that someone discovered it and is using it. The solution… Don’t create backdoors for anyone.

      Note: As far as I can tell from the articles, they didn’t compromise the actual wiretap systems used by law enforcement, only warrants relating to them. An important distinction that the article’s title doesn’t make clear (in fact the title is very misleading)

      And? What did they get that US companies haven’t either sold in private data or lost in their own data breach? I get a notification almost weekly about a data breach from my bank, or my mortgage, or whatever.

      This is kinda how it works but this is embarrassing.

      Just like when the US was caught spying on Merkel and other EU citizens: [https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/us-security-agency-spied-merkel-other-top-european-officials-through-danish-2021-05-30/](https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/us-security-agency-spied-merkel-other-top-european-officials-through-danish-2021-05-30/)

      That or that time they said the quit part out loud: [https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/01/nsa-finally-admits-to-spying-on-americans-by-purchasing-sensitive-data/](https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/01/nsa-finally-admits-to-spying-on-americans-by-purchasing-sensitive-data/)

      [https://www.wired.com/story/odni-commercially-available-information-report/](https://www.wired.com/story/odni-commercially-available-information-report/)

      Well, at least you don’t live under an evil dictatorship that spies on its people, you live in a “democracy” that spies on its people. So much better! Now be a good little free citizen and get back to work! This private yacht doesn’t pay for itself!

      Plot twist is, that it is actually fine, as they are using the data for pretty awesome science project to become – theirs intentions are actually noble and not malicious, selfish and/or ‘sun tzu-ish’ at all.

    22. ArchangelRenzoku on

      I really, really don’t consider CNN a reliable source of anything. Anyone have a different source for this story?

    26. Current-Power-6452 on

      See, that must be the proof that those backdoors are not monitored or abused by the government, right?

    27. First_Code_404 on

      The NSA is in charge of protecting the US and hacking. Hacking always takes precedence over protection. The functions need to be split. Let the NSA continue to hack, but we need someone to find and fix the hacks, not hide them for their own use.

      This is why apple wouldn’t make a back door for the fbi and why I still have an iPhone

    32. AIDSofSPACE on

      The whole Huawei ban was projection all along.

      “Don’t let the Chinese build your telecom, they can leave backdoors”

      “How do you know?”

      “We just know”

    33. ell20 on

      It’s almost as if creating a deliberate vulnerability in a security system will result in it being exploited by unwanted actors!! WHO KNEW!?

      /s

      Wouldn’t it be more accurate to use the term Spy instead of hacker? If a spy breaks into somewhere we don’t call them burglars.
