The FBI and CISA's warning underscores that common text messaging systems are vulnerable to espionage from hackers, notably those linked to China, called Salt Typhoon.
Cybersecurity experts urge people to prioritize encrypted communications to mitigate risks, as unencrypted messages can easily be intercepted and accessed by unauthorized parties.
Professor Jason Hong noted that security vulnerabilities in messaging have been a known issue for years, suggesting that the general public has not been adequately aware.
CISA's Jeff Greene emphasizes the importance of encryption: it makes intercepted data difficult to decipher, protecting user privacy even if communications are compromised.
