FCC says US telcos by law must secure networks from spies
Briefly

"On Thursday, the US regulator issued a formal ruling that states telecommunications carriers have a statutory obligation... to secure their systems against unlawful access or interception of communications."
"This is part of Uncle Sam's larger efforts to fend off Chinese agents breaking into America's computer networks to gather intelligence... giving the intruders the capability to geo-locate millions of subscribers, monitor their internet traffic, and record their phone calls."
