Ze kregen tot 1 juli om aan de regels te voldoen. We gaan nu controleren of bedrijven hun werkwijze hebben aangepast. Zo nodig leggen we boetes of lasten onder dwangsom op.

Six #Telecom Myths the @EU_Commission Can’t Afford to Believe #DigitalNetworksAct
"#Telcos are not prevented from innovating by #regulation. #Mobile and fixed operators are in the #utility business, where cutting costs is the most important."

The flaw was first disclosed in October 2023, when it was reported that threat actors had exploited it as a zero-day to hack over 10,000 devices.
Despite a significant period having passed, at least one major #telecommunications provider in Canada still hadn't patched, giving Salt Typhoon an easy way to compromise devices.
