1 - Bad network design. Probably legacy equipment that wasn't configured properly.

2 - Lack of redundant communications methods. A backdoor on shitty telco system is better than nothing.

I hope they're air gapped, at least.

One good thing about being in the DOD supply chain is they've forced a lot of companies to make significant improvements that would otherwise have been difficult to justify the expense for given the lack of understanding of the risk profile (not just internally, but externally - hard to justify higher prices due to higher cybersecurity costs when the customer doesn't see the value).

What's the best way to financially cripple the Chinese?

On 911.  My bet is when the circuit was provisioned it was diverse pathed and redundant and over the last 10 years it ceased to be because all of the people at the telco who would know are gone.  Option 2 would be that they bought 2 circuits from different carriers to get redundancy and the carriers were using the same infrastructure.   I have personally seen both of these happen causing failures but not on 911 or FAA/life safety  circuits but I bet it could and will happen there as well.

Could be. But after the Whitmer kidnapping plot was exposed it’s hard to believe that the FBI does not set up incidents to further a political goal.

Two options and both are the result of extreme stupidity and maliciousness.

shitty setup with compromised components letting hackers in or
subcontracted "Software as a Service" tool for their 911 software.  frequently with SaS suites if they cant reach home they wont run.  If its SaS 911 software somebody got a kickback.

Thats immediately what I thought- There was a hack into 911 related software. Cyber security for PSAPs is becoming a huge deal because it isn't just local phone lines tied into an old 911 system anymore, it aint the 90's

At a moment's notice they are getting ready to drop Biden's interest rates to 0.00%

And then they will send us this on all emergency broadcasts

That’s neither here nor there. Helping our enemies spread their propaganda is dumb. Very dumb.

Stacking them on their sides like that, tells you these folks are imbeciles.

I’d trust my Wavian cans to not leak if placed on their sides, but I STILL would not lay them on their sides, much less STACK them on their sides.

Those plastic pieces of shit? I bought ONE of those years ago. They SUCK. On a hot day, the shed would smell like gas fumes. The Wavians OTOH, left in a black SUV in the sun by the river, and there was NO gas smell whatsoever, despite the interior of the SUV getting hot enough that the blast of hot air from opening the door, felt like opening an oven door.

While it may be true information about the FBI, it isn't their propaganda. Controlled opposition is a hallmark of the KGB and the FBI.


Also I don't think anyone here would help the FBI spread their propaganda for love or money.
