Salt Typhoon is the biggest story we’re not talking about. China hacked the majority of telecommunications companies, had access to the locations and calls of millions of Americans, targeted specifically people in D.C.,and went after Trump and Vance, and after all this time, the enemy hackers have yet to be evicted. It got so bad that FBI officials urged Americans to use encrypted messaging because the government has no ability to protect them.

The Biden administration and its officials are taking zero responsibility and the media is helpfully running their spin.

White House urges crackdown on US telecoms after massive Chinese hack – USA Today

The White House is urging the Federal Communications Commission to crack down on U.S. telecom providers after at least nine were breached in a massive Chinese hacking and spying campaign that targeted senior government officials.

Voluntary compliance with cybersecurity practices are inadequate to protect against hacking from foreign actors, the White House’s deputy national security advisor for cyber and emerging technology, Anne Neuberger, said on a Friday call.

The Biden administration official urged the FCC to impose regulations that would make it harder, riskier and costlier for hackers to access Americans’ data in response to the Salt Typhoon hack that affected an unknown number of Americans.

We know that voluntary cybersecurity practices are inadequate to protect against China, Russia and Iran hacking of our critical infrastructure,” Neuberger said.

Voluntary practices? Voluntary compliance. USA Today, like most of the media covering this hack, doesn’t seem to get around to explaining how China hacked such a broad spectrum of telecoms.

What did they all have in common?

Compliance.

Reports are that China used the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) backdoor meant to allow federal authorities access to everything.

Compliance was the issue.

Now, I don’t doubt that the companies themselves had all sorts of sloppy practices, but if it wasn’t for the CALEA backdoors, it wouldn’t have been an issue.

The Biden administration is posturing about a hack enabled by federal compliance and the media is letting it get away with this lie as it has a million others because the media still functions as a voluntary propaganda arm of the administration in compliance with its narratives.
