Summary
U.S. officials are urging Americans to use encrypted messaging apps like Signal and WhatsApp after a massive cyberespionage campaign, dubbed “Salt Typhoon,” targeted telecom giants AT&T, Verizon, and others.
Linked to Chinese hackers, the attack compromised call metadata, live phone calls, and sensitive surveillance systems used by law enforcement.
Officials warn the breach is unresolved and emphasize encryption to safeguard communications.
The hack is seen as a major intelligence-gathering effort rather than election interference.
I keep spouting off about how cops use geofencing and a bunch of peter theil tangent companies are contracting with cops. Flock safety is selling cops drones and leasing cameras to cops, they also use the cops to get companies to install backdoor access to their cameras. So clever to use cops as sales and pr. But no one reads about it. They just listen to the capitalist media spew how 90% of crime is now solved thanks to this company, and other erroneous statements. The propaganda is wildly out of control.
Crime is solved but also the cities are so dangerous now.
90% of crime is indeed not solved by these companies. They are lying and the cops and media parrot the bullshit. No one is in a position to criticize them. The cops are their PR and sales team.
Do you live in a city? Wheres this danger at? My city keeps getting safer year after year.
