    "excerpt": "Telco security teams are used to ridiculous cyber numbers. For example, in the first six months of 2026, Cloudflare blocked 23.2 million network DDoS attacks across its infrastructure. That is about 128,000 attacks every day, or more than 5,300 every hour. It also recorded 935 attacks above one terabit per second during the same period. The volume is so high, and many attacks are so short, that human response became unrealistic years ago. Telcos face the same reality as the rest of the security industry. Someone is always scanning the network, trying credentials, looking for exposed systems, attacking customers, testing APIs, or targeting suppliers. At the more serious end, state-sponsored attackers have gone after the routers at the heart of telecommunications networks. CISA has documented Chinese state-sponsored actors targeting backbone, provider edge, and customer edge routers at major telecom providers, then using compromised devices and trusted connections to move further into other networks. Most of these attacks still have one important constraint. The expensive part is intelligent human attention. A botnet can scan ten million IP addresses, but someone still has to determine which result matters, examine the unusual server, link a leaked credential to an old supplier account, study the API documentation, inspect the software package, write an exploit, and decide what...",
