Lawmakers targeted in encrypted messaging phishing scam
Briefly

A new phishing campaign targeting members of Congress urged them to download an encrypted messaging app via a misleading link, raising significant cybersecurity concerns.
The email advisory to Congress clearly warned recipients to be cautious and not to download requested applications, emphasizing the need to communicate only with trusted contacts.
Recent cybersecurity guidance suggests the increasing vulnerability of U.S. telecom providers, highlighting the threat posed by cyberespionage groups like Salt Typhoon.
While the phishing attempt does not directly mention Salt Typhoon, it raises alarm over potential connections to the broader pattern of cyber intrusions impacting U.S. systems.
