Holy hell. This was inevitable.
Hackers, allegedly Chinese, got into the federally mandated surveillance backdoors of Verizon and AT&T's networks, snooping on everything.
The mandated backdoors were first required on phone systems in 1994 by the CALEA law, then controversially extended to broadband by the FCC in '04.
That's right folks. Broadband is so important that it must have backdoors for cops, but not important enough for the FCC to require consumer protections
