AT&T, Verizon, And T-Mobile Customers Should Be Worried About The FCC's Ruling

The FCC's recent decision to rescind cybersecurity rules, originally enforced to protect against a major Chinese attack by the Salt Typhoon group, has raised concerns among AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile customers. The rules, which mandated security improvements and allowed for fines or criminal charges against non-compliant companies, were deemed unlawful and ineffective by the FCC. Despite improvements made by carriers, U.S. wireless networks remain vulnerable, with ongoing hacking campaigns linked to Salt Typhoon. Critics argue that rescinding these rules allows carriers to operate without accountability, potentially leading to further security lapses. To protect themselves, customers are advised to use VPNs, secure password managers, and encrypted apps.
