Hiring foreign workers to manage critical networks and data is an unacceptable security risk for American infrastructure and the personal data of Americans. Hiring foreigners that have no allegiance to America and no regard for our data, who eventually go back to their own countries is guaranteed to have bad results for the American people.

AT&T employees took bribes to unlock millions of smartphones, and to install malware and unauthorized hardware on the company's network, the Department of Justice said yesterday.

Employees would then receive bribes in their bank accounts, in shell companies they created, or as cash, from the two Pakistani men.
