Chinese hackers (Salt Typhoon) penetrated the networks of US broadband providers, and might have accessed the backdoors that the federal government uses to execute court-authorized wiretap requests. Those backdoors have been mandated by law—CALEA—since 1994.
Refering to a story published by the Wall Street Journal, security expert Bruce Schneier writes “that the attack wasn’t against the broadband providers directly, but against one of the intermediary companies that sit between the government CALEA requests and the broadband providers”.
"For years, the security community has pushed back against these backdoors, pointing out that the technical capability cannot differentiate between good guys and bad guys. And here is one more example of a backdoor access mechanism being targeted by the “wrong” eavesdroppers."
That was probably for the extremely outdated and racist use of “chinaman”. Even if you were using like Florida Man, it’s still a good word to avoid.
Didn’t use the term there but on the side note lol
Next you gonna tell me I should not hurt the federal agents feels too
