China hat im Rahmen einer offensichtlichen Spionageoperation große US-Telekommunikationsunternehmen gehackt

Oh no! Anyways

The “hack”: some underpaid guy was using “password” as password.

Really surprised this isn’t getting more traction. This is a huge blow to not just American cyber security but also the American public’s privacy. China could have used this to violate anyone’s constitutional rights to privacy and I’m not even sure we can be sure they don’t still have access. Once you have access, you can use that access to get more forms of access. If even one survives the cycle repeats.
