If you attract the attention of the authorities and you use a residential connection with multiple users, they will have a difficult time conclusively establishing who did what.
If you use a VPN it's likely to be a lot easier (single user, paid with personal card, etc) and it looks like you're trying to hide so the penalty may be higher.
Warner is chairman of the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee and a former venture capitalist who bet big on telecom in the 1980s and 90s, making him uniquely qualified to talk about threats to U.S. communications infrastructure.
More like uniquely qualified to take advantage of panic funding that he's trying to create.
All the major U.S. carriers, including AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile, were impacted, according to the Post. Incredibly, Warner says the hackers are still inside the U.S. system and there’s no obvious way to get them out that doesn’t involve physically replacing old equipment, according to Warner.
Huh how convenient
The hackers behind the infiltration of U.S. telecom infrastructure are known to Western intelligence agencies as Salt Typhoon
What's great about this hacking fiction is that there's essentially no physical evidence. It's "just try us bro, we wouldn't lie for war and profit"
I expect this to ramp up significantly since there's no actual aggression coming out of China they could point to.
WSJ Report further notes that Huawei’s slow but constant progress in the chipset field is ‘both a security concern for the U.S. and a commercial challenge for Apple’.
Same thing, Apple is so big their success is part of US national security.
The part where he has been obsessively trying to depose a saintly old man with cancer by misinterpreting stuff he's written and one thing he allegedly (no proof) said in the 80s. Then he posted in the HN thread praising the report and claimed not to have written it, and fled back to mastodon when it was discovered that he did write it. Then he marked everyone's post that questioned him as a death thread.
