#AT&T bought #Quantum

Quantum was #CenturyLink 's creation to dodge union contracts AND FCC tariffs.

Rather than build their own, the Death Star just bought one already doing it.

#Telecom the industry of civility and standards.

The Register: Major telecom supplier compromised by unnamed nation-state attackers. “Nation-state snoops broke into Ribbon Communications – an outfit that provides software and networking gear to Verizon, CenturyLink, and the US Defense Department – last December, remained hidden for about nine months, and stole files belonging to three customers, according to the US telecommunications firm.”

Chinese government #hackers penetrated the networks of several large US-based Internet service providers
and may have gained access to systems used for court-authorized #wiretaps of communications networks,
The Wall Street Journal reported Saturday.

"People familiar with the matter" told the WSJ that hackers breached the networks of companies including #Verizon, #ATandT, and Lumen (also known as #CenturyLink).

"A cyberattack tied to the Chinese government penetrated the networks of a swath of US broadband providers,
potentially accessing information from systems the federal government uses for court-authorized network wiretapping requests," the WSJ wrote.

"For months or longer, the hackers might have held access to network infrastructure used to cooperate with lawful US requests for communications data, according to people familiar with the matter."

These "attackers also had access to other tranches of more generic Internet traffic," according to the WSJ's sources.

The attack is being attributed to a Chinese hacking group called #SaltTyphoon.

@davidgerard
When you say vote harder, I can’t tell if you’re joking about the relative uselessness of a voting in elections, or if you mean vote in every way. I.e. boycotts.

I’m a hard voter myself. I do the near minimalist lifestyle of not buying a lot of shit (as I write this post from a 16 year old laptop). Just about every market decision is me voting harder by buying 2nd hand and boycotting countless brands that are either directly tied to environmental harm or tied to financing right wing politicians. E.g. I boycott all ALEC members (e.g. #FedEx, #AmEx, #AnheuserBusch, #Boeing, #CenturyLink, #Chevron, #Marlboro, #Motorola, #Sony), boycott #Amazon, etc.

#WaveBroadband (#astound.com) is down for me(? in my area?).. went to their site to find support, and damn if basically every link isn't just a "billing" or "make a payment" link, on *every clickable page*!!

It is enough to make me want to switch ISPs, yes. But what are my alternatives? #centurylink? #comcast? both are huge "fuck no"'s from me, Bob.

It's as if Astound knows this. On my quest to find a support number, I've noted they're about 4 shell companies deep now, too. Why is this legal!

@TonyStark @JohnJClimateMarcher Also note that if your ISP is #CenturyLink, #Qwest, #TimeWarner (#roadRunner), those ISPs are #ALEC members, which means they fund right wing politics.
