Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Mark Warner stated, "The barn door is still wide open, or mostly open," indicating that hackers have gained access to sensitive information.
The hack, linked to a Chinese group called Salt Typhoon, exploited aging telecommunications equipment, allowing access to phone conversations, including those of key political figures.
Warner highlighted the severity of the breach, calling it, "far and away the most serious telecom hack in our history," surpassing infamous prior incidents.
Officials warn that hackers might still be monitoring communications, with Warner stating, "We've not found everywhere they are," implying ongoing cybersecurity threats.
