The White House established a multi-agency team to confront Chinese cyberattacks targeting US telecommunications, which affected about 10 to 12 companies, including AT&T and Verizon.
Officials noted that the breach is sophisticated, and with no clear entry point, removing the attacker poses a significant challenge for both the government and the affected companies.
A White House meeting convened key agencies to create a 'unified coordination group' aimed at ensuring consistent oversight of responses to the cyber threats.
This situation is reminiscent of previous major breaches, notably the Chinese intrusion into Microsoft Exchange servers in 2021, highlighting ongoing vulnerabilities.
