UpGuard scanned ten major telecom providers and produced CSTAR security scores (average 533/950), finding systemic weaknesses: many main websites lacked sitewide SSL, numerous domains lacked email authentication (SPF/DMARC) and DNSSEC, and some providers had prior breaches (e.g., AT&T ~280k, T‑Mobile/Experian ~15M, Verizon ~1.5M) illustrating the real-world impact of these deficiencies; recommendations center on implementing sitewide SSL, email authentication, and DNS protections to reduce exposure.
