The FBI has announced that its investigation into Chinese government-sponsored cyber activities has revealed an extensive cyberespionage campaign targeting multiple U.S. telecommunications networks.
Hackers linked to Beijing have compromised the systems of telecommunications firms to access call records and intercept private communications of several U.S. individuals, particularly those engaged in government and political activities.
The FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) jointly reported these findings, underscoring the campaign's broad scope. Although specific targets were not disclosed, officials noted that many individuals affected are closely tied to government and political spheres.
Attempts to Compromise Surveillance Programs
Further investigation has revealed that the hackers sought access to data managed under U.S. law enforcement programs, including those governed by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).
