During a meeting with top telecommunications leaders at the White House, significant concerns were raised about Chinese hackers infiltrating the networks of major American telecom firms. The group, identified as Salt Typhoon, is linked to China's Ministry of State Security and has potentially accessed sensitive monitoring information, alarming officials about national security implications.
Officials revealed that these hackers had been inside U.S. telecommunications networks for over a year. They specifically got access to a list of phone numbers monitored by the Justice Department, which raises serious questions about the integrity of U.S. surveillance methods and the potential detrimental impact on ongoing investigations.
