Battling any kind of cyber security is like fighting a hydra – cut one head off, and two more appear.

Or, more similarly, whack a mole.

Your telco provider is likely working on fixing every issue they are aware of (unless its AT&T obv). The hackers just move on to the next exploit they can find and the cycle starts over again.

Super ELI5: the teacher on the playground caught you playing with banned Pokemon cards. The teacher confiscates your cards, but you just go get more from the store and be more sneaky next time you play.
