Spies in Our Wires?

The U.S. House Committee is probing potential cybersecurity threats linked to China. They've asked the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to provide information on a telecom hack associated with Chinese actors. This move is fueled by concerns over national security and the potential for foreign influence in American infrastructure. To everyone's surprise, in our so-called "secure" technological landscape, national agencies seem to be more sieve than fortress. It's as if cybersecurity measures are more foreign movie than reality—full of plot holes and clichés.
