Someone’s watching… from where? Chinese-backed hackers have launched a sophisticated cyber-espionage campaign, breaching telecom networks worldwide to steal sensitive data. This raises questions about the recent network outages at major providers like AT&T and Verizon Wireless earlier this year. Could these incidents be more than just technical glitches? As cybersecurity threats escalate, telecoms must bolster defenses to protect sensitive infrastructure. #CyberEspionage #TelecomSecurity #DataBreach #NetworkOutages #TelecomNews https://lnkd.in/gNr-Qgp9

When I tell you "connected=hacked", a lot of people are annoyed, but this is a FACT "US says Chinese hackers breached multiple telecom providers" It's time to recover control over your personal and professional exposure ! REDUCE YOUR ATTACK SURFACE ! Time to adopt a digital low profile, and master it, rather than digitally transform EVERYTHING, and connect everything. That's pure nonsense ! connected=hacked #cybersecurity #technology #digitaltransformation https://lnkd.in/eXFPhJ6q

AT&T has reported a massive data breach affecting nearly all of its cellular network customers, compromising six months' worth of call and text message records. Although the content of communications was not accessed, hackers stole metadata, including phone numbers. This incident raises serious privacy concerns, highlighting the need for robust cybersecurity measures in telecom companies. Metadata at this scale poses significant risks, including revealing personal patterns and connections. AT&T is cooperating with law enforcement and has taken steps to enhance security. This breach should be a wake-up call for the telecom industry—time to get serious about security! Read more: https://lnkd.in/gex8brqV

Chinese Government Hackers Infiltrate U.S Telecommunications Companies A group of hackers linked to the Chinese government has infiltrated multiple US telecommunications companies in recent months, likely in an effort to access sensitive national security information. The hacking activity was first reported by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) US investigators suspect that the hackers may have gained access to wiretap warrant requests, though officials are still working to determine the full extent of the data that may have been compromised. AT&T, Verizon, and Lumen, major broadband and internet providers, were among the targets. The breach has raised concerns among US officials about the potential national security implications, as the hacking was only discovered recently. This incident is the latest in a series of sophisticated cyberattacks on US federal agencies, which investigators have traced to China. The breach also comes at a time of heightened tension between Washington and Beijing over cyber-espionage and broader national security issues. Telecom companies like these hold vast amounts of data from phone and internet communications. US law enforcement agencies often request access to specific data via court-approved warrants for use in criminal and national security investigations, some of which could be of significant interest to Beijing. In recent years, the US government has charged Chinese agents with harassing Chinese nationals living in the US and hacking American businesses and political dissidents. AT&T, Lumen and Verizon have so far not responded to the reports. The Justice Department and FBI also declined to comment. Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the Chinese Embassy in Washington, DC, denied the accusations, claiming that reports of Chinese-backed hacking were "a distortion of the fact" and accusing the US of "politicizing cybersecurity issues to smear China." According to WSJ sources, US officials have briefed both the House and Senate intelligence committees on the situation. Microsoft and Google-owned cybersecurity firm Mandiant have been involved in investigating the breach. Investigators have been impressed by the hackers' skill, persistence, and ability to deeply infiltrate computer networks. The hacking group, known as Salt Typhoon within the cybersecurity community, is just one of several Chinese-backed groups capable of espionage or disrupting networks, according to US officials and cybersecurity experts. Microsoft confirmed tracking Salt Typhoon's activities and providing customers with the necessary information to investigate. FBI Director Christopher Wray has previously stated that Chinese government-backed hackers outnumber FBI cyber personnel by 50 to 1. Source: Cyber Security Hub

A recent breach of U.S. telecommunications companies has been described recently as the “worst telecom hack in our nation’s history – by far,” by the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Senator Mark Warner. This alarming statement comes in the wake of a massive cyber espionage campaign allegedly linked to China, which has compromised multiple telecommunications networks across the United States. The breach, first reported earlier this month, involved China-linked hackers intercepting sensitive surveillance data intended for American law enforcement agencies. According to a joint statement by the FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on November 13, the hackers infiltrated networks of several telecom companies, stealing U.S. customer call records and communications from individuals primarily involved in government or political activities.
