U.S. Wiretap Systems Targeted in China-Linked Hack

• A cyberattack tied to the Chinese government penetrated the networks of a swath of U.S. broadband providers, potentially accessing information from systems the federal government uses for court-authorized network wiretapping requests.
• Here are my AI-weapons thoughts on this: 1) If you can plant a MitM LLM that works to make people want to legislate back doors for cybercrime, you could set up this kind of operation. 2) If these backdoors already exist, you can plant LLMs and cause further havoc, or adjust the behavior of your adversary in more subtle ways.
