https://www.forbes.com/sites/zakdoffman/2024/12/05/fbi-warns-iphone-and-android-users-stop-sending-texts/Timing is everything. Just as Apple’s adoption of RCS had seemed to signal a return to text messaging versus the unstoppable growth of WhatsApp, then along comes a surprising new hurdle to stop that in its tracks. While messaging Android to Android or iPhone to iPhone is secure, messaging from one to the other is not.Now even the FBI and CISA, the US cyber defense agency, are warning Americans to use responsibly encrypted messaging and phone calls where they can. The backdrop is the Chinese hacking of US networks that is reportedly “ongoing and likely larger in scale than previously understood.” Fully encrypted comms is the best defense against this compromise, and Americans are being urged to use that wherever possible.https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-agencies-brief-senators-chinese-salt-typhoon-telecom-hacking-2024-12-04/WASHINGTON, Dec 4 (Reuters) - U.S. government agencies held a classified briefing for all senators on Wednesday on China's alleged efforts known as Salt Typhoon to burrow deep into American telecommunications companies and steal data about U.S. calls.The FBI, Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines, Federal Communications Commission Chair Jessica Rosenworcel, the National Security Council and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency were among the participants in the closed-door briefing, officials told Reuters.Democratic Senator Ron Wyden told reporters after the briefing he was working to draft legislation on this issue, while Senator Bob Casey said he had "great concern" about the breach and added it may not be until next year before Congress can address the issue.Republican Senator Rick Scott expressed frustration with the briefing. "They have not told us why they didn't catch it; what they could have done to prevent it."

>>1366353Why did Biden just let the Chinese do this to us?
>>1366356Like all democrats, he hates America and wants to destroy it before Trump is able to save it.
>>1366356>The backdrop is the Chinese hacking of US networks that is reportedly “ongoing and likely larger in scale than previously understood.”This isn't a consequence of 'biden'. It's a consequence of NSA backdoors in your telecoms equipment as default. Doors can be used by more than one person. TL;DR: You did this to yourselves. And this predates biden, significantly.
>>1366361Further, anyone who didn't think the entire network - including your unencrypted SMS - wasn't gobbled up for analysis is a f'kin retard.
>>1366361>>1366362Get a load of Bradass87 over here
>>1366353Ooo no ChyyNa has my sic dik pics!
My only hope is that this isn't so utterly broken by Biden and neocons that trump is unable to fix it
>>1366364I think they're more interested in your bank account and what you're spending money on.
>>1366365Possibly the single funniest thing I've read all week. Moar.WTF makes you think trump understands how any of this works enough to see where a fix lies? Or are you one of the spastics that thinks because his uncle was asked by the US Navy to be civillian scientist attache, come n tell 'em what's worth taking when they raped Tesla's belongings after he died, that this means he's smart too? >>1366379They've got most of that, too. Quite a lot of your companies taking many metrics have very weak concept of security.
>>1366422>WTF makes you think trump understands how any of this works enough to see where a fix lies?I don't.I think he'll hire someone from a large corporation who knows how to manage this stuff to do it for him, which is better than the Biden strategy of "let's get a dei hire to fix all our problems"
>>1366426>I think he'll hire someone from a large corporation who will then take advantage of this to boost their own profits at the expense of the american peopleFTFY
>>1366426Well, hiring from large corporations is kinda what got you the equipment with the backdoors that are being exploited in the first place... So good luck with that.
>>1366353democrats and their intel dogs are the biggest traitors in US historyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrJhQpvlkLA
>>1366444go back there
>>1366444Checked!
>>1366444Nice interview. The Democrat propaganda apparatus is huge. Honestly, it's hard to just call it the democrat propaganda apparatus, because really it's the neoliberal propaganda apparatus.
>>1366444>>1366641What sort of low budget spam campaign is this supposed to be?
>>1366651You talk like a fag and your shits all retarded.
>>1366661Idiocracy wasn't supposed to be a documentary.
>>1366662I always considered it a documentary. You're telling me it isn't? 'cause there's ample conflicting evidence... Just waiting for the "it's got what plants crave"... Think how WWF/WWE used to be - that's your education system now. lol.
>>1366680Lowering standards is left wing.
>>1366353The FBI, who surveil everything you say online AND over the phone AND via text wants you to know that you should be scared of le bad Chyna

>>1366968Why the fuck would there be more than one poster like this?Discord, bros. The thread won't bump no more. You can stop.
