Multiple intelligence agencies are recommending that telecommunication companies boost communications infrastructure security in the aftermath of a Chinese hacking campaign that targeted the sensitive sector.
On Nov. 13, the FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) issued a joint statement revealing that hackers linked to China had compromised the networks of several U.S. telecom companies. Hackers stole customer call records, communications of individuals linked to political and government activities, and certain information subject to law enforcement requests, it said.
