“A cyberattack tied to the Chinese government penetrated the networks of a swath of U.S. broadband providers, potentially accessing information from systems the federal government uses for court-authorized network wiretapping requests.

For months or longer, the hackers might have held access to network infrastructure used to cooperate with lawful U.S. requests for communications data, according to people familiar with the matter, which amounts to a major national security risk. The attackers also had access to other tranches of more generic internet traffic, they said.”

 Probably nothing. 

 Good. Criminals balancing criminals. 

 ah this is what people have been posting about "backdoor that we made for the good guys" lol

backdoors always the bad guys get the keys not long afterwards

the history of this in law as well, long before computer networks, is long and illustrious, yet the brainiacs keep doing it and getting praise and votes for bending the people over for it 

 So before Snowden, would they have admitted this capability exists? I think not. 

 Accidental, or deliberate??? 

 So, who are worse - the feds or the Chinese hackers? I'd feel safer with the hackers. 

 Democracy is mocked 

 Honestly, the stonecutters and Estars in the US corporation deserve it... unless it was a MIHOP by those very same people.
