The White House struggles to stop Chinese telecommunications hacks

Politico  

Still, none of the U.S. telecommunications providers have managed to oust the Chinese hackers from their networks, Neuberger warned, which means that a large number of Americans remain vulnerable to Chinese eavesdropping. “The Chinese access was broad in terms of potential access to communications of everyday Americans.” Salt Typhoon has already used its foothold inside the backbone of several telecommunications companies to sweep up unclassified communications from the phones of senior U.S. government officials, and access metadata from American phone subscribers writ large, Neuberger added, confirming earlier reports. In November, federal investigators issued a short statement confirming that the Chinese had stolen cellular records, intercepted call and text data from select individuals and copied sensitive wiretap data from the affected companies. Neuberger emphasized in the call Wednesday that the victims are all private companies, and said the hack has not just affected the U.S. but “dozens of countries” around the world, complicating response efforts. Telecoms companies, equipment makers, and cybersecurity firms need to work together because “they may see parts of the Chinese campaign in different countries and networks around the world,” she said.
