Cyber alert in the US: A professional Chinese hacking group, which US investigators say was close to the government in Beijing, apparently had access to the Telekom network for months. An eavesdropping attack with “potentially catastrophic” consequences, warn IT security experts!
The Chinese hackers roamed the networks of major American telecom providers such as Verizon, AT&T and Lumen Technologies for months. There they had access to an interface built in for researchers. Insiders see a historic risk to US national security: telephone calls, text messages and internet traffic of millions of citizens, authorities and companies could have been tapped. The way in which the ‘Salt Typhoon’ hacker group operated is also ringing alarm bells in Europe.
