F.B.I. investigators suspect that hackers linked to a Chinese group accessed unencrypted SMS text messages and call logs from high-profile U.S. officials' devices.
The investigation revealed that the Chinese group, known as 'Salt Typhoon,' targeted not only aides to President Biden but also family members of former President Trump.
CISA and the FBI confirmed that at least 10 companies, including major telecommunications providers like Verizon and AT&T, were affected by this sophisticated hacking attempt.
Verizon acknowledged the incident, stating that it was aware of a highly sophisticated nation-state actor targeting U.S. telecommunications providers to gather intelligence.
