A recent breach attributed to the Chinese hacking group Salt Typhoon reveals the inherent flaws of law enforcement access channels built into U.S. telecom systems.
The hack exposed the critical vulnerability of systems designed for authorized government agencies, highlighting how such channels can be exploited by sophisticated malicious groups.
The failure of these 'lawful intercept' mechanisms has been seen before, stressing that the notion of restricted access is a risky and flawed assumption.
Ultimately, the surveillance infrastructure intended for national security is frequent fodder for exploitation by threat actors, undermining user privacy and safety.
