"I think it would be impossible for us to predict a time frame on when we'll have full eviction," said Jeff Greene, executive assistant director for cybersecurity at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. "Right now, the hardening guidance that we put out specifically would make the activities that we've seen across the victims much harder to continue. In some cases, it might result in limiting their access."
"Each victim is unique. These are not cookie-cutter compromises in terms of how deeply compromised the victim might be or what the actor has been able to do," Greene said. "So it really is case-specific in terms of how to mitigate the specific activity."
Government agencies are also still grappling with the attack's full scope, the officials told reporters. The hackers, a group known as Salt Typhoon, targeted officials from both presidential campaigns, including the phone of President-elect Donald Trump.
In response to the global hacking campaign tied to the People's Republic of China, a host of agencies released communication infrastructure-focused guidance. The agencies responsible were CISA, the National Security Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Australian Signals Directorate's Australian Cyber Security Centre, the Canadian Cyber Security Centre and New Zealand's National Cyber Security Centre.
