Not the Wayback Machine! Crap. These guys are critical infrastructure, AFAIC. This is the message that popped up when I tried to load archive.org just now:

In a cyber incident reminiscent of Operation Aurora (or Greece’s 2004 Olympics wiretap scandal), threat actors successfully penetrated American telecommunications companies (and a small number of other countries’ service providers) to gain access to lawful interception systems or associated data. The result was that: > 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. > > … > > The surveillance systems believed to be at issue are used to cooperate with requests for domestic information related to criminal and national security investigations. Under federal law, telecommunications and broadband companies must allow authorities to intercept electronic information pursuant to a court order. It couldn’t be determined if systems that support foreign intelligence surveillance were also vulnerable in the breach. Not only is this a major intelligence coup for the adversary in question, but it once more reveals the fundamental difficulties in deliberately establishing lawful access/interception systems in communications infrastructures to support law enforcement and national security investigations while, simultaneously, preventing adversaries from taking advantage of the same deliberately-designed communications vulnerabilities. #cybersecurity #nationalsecurity #lawfulaccess

An inconvenient truth: The common practice of scraping - essential to developing AI - is inconsistent with nearly all core privacy principles in privacy laws. For why and what to do about it, see my new article, “The Great Scrape: The Clash Between Scraping and Privacy” with Prof Woodrow Hartzog https://lnkd.in/eKBPrfGu
