alt Hacker NewsIt used to be that they needed to dedicate entire rooms for interception hardware, and tighter maintenance schedules. Nowadays, the devices they use are tiny in comparison, way easier to hide. I've encountered infrastructure companies discovering hardware that doesn't belong to them, in their local infrastructure, and when detected and reported, law enforcement came to pick it up, and refused to talk about it. That case still hasn't had a resolution, and it's about 4 years ago now.

Sure it has!
The resolution was “go fuck yourself, what the fuck are you going to do about it?”.
Y’know: respectfully.

By "law enforcement", I'd assume the feds and not local. Why not just say which agency? Wouldn't this pretty much be FBI? Why use such a generic term?
