Hilarious if true, but this article provides no actual evidence to back up the claim. Its citations are a WSJ article that only sources a chain of other WSJ articles and a WaPo article that doesn't provide any sources at all. I'm giving this one the
That's standard for western news articles these days. They all reference each other and if you do find an original source, it's always some random nobody's blog or some random person's speculation.
It's a real shame that media literacy is so terrible. They're not even trying and it still works for the most part.
The worst part is those "services" that claim to examine "media bias" while not doing anything of the sort, just telling people that the generic liberal media is "trustworthy" and anything else is automatically "biased" They are so eager to let someone else do their thinking for them, they'll even pay them to do it.
I agree, they make this seem like licherally the biggest hack in US history and the article itself is like 3 paragraphs supported by the testimony of some venture capital tech spooks. Hilarious if true tho, as you said lol I don't doubt that US IT infrastructure really is that shitty
Right? They couldn't at least find a tech CTO (still knows shit all) or pulled some NAFO cybersecurity expert off Xitter with Ukraine and Taiwan (Province) flags in their display name to make it seem plausible.

Oh and a quote from some shit for brains venture capitalist presented as expert testimony.
"Worst hack in our nation's history... excluding of course the NSA, FBI, etc etc."
Sounds about right, wonder if it was due to the glaring vulnerabilities with SS7
