HN41 - Chinese Hackers Hijack US Telecom Networks

In this eye-opening episode of Exploit Brokers, your host Lauro dives deep into the recent cyberattacks that have compromised major U.S. telecommunications networks. Chinese state-sponsored hackers, known as Salt Typhoon, have exploited a 30-year-old backdoor mandated by U.S. law, targeting giants like AT&T, Lumen (formerly CenturyLink), and Verizon.

Drawing inspiration from Friedrich Nietzsche's quote:

"He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster... when you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you."

We explore how attempts to control and monitor can sometimes backfire, creating vulnerabilities that malicious actors can exploit.
