White House says at least 8 US telecom firms, dozens of nations
impacted by China hacking campaign
A top White House official on Wednesday said at least eight
U.S. telecom firms and dozens of nations have been impacted
by a Chinese hacking campaign.
Deputy national security adviser Anne Neuberger offered new
details about the breadth of the sprawling Chinese hacking
campaign that gave officials in Beijing access to private
texts and phone conversations of an unknown number of
Americans.
Neuberger divulged the scope of the hack a day after the
FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency
issued guidance intended to help root out the hackers and
prevent similar cyberespionage in the future. White House
officials cautioned that the number of telecommunication
firms and countries impacted could still grow.
. . .
We have actual, SERIOUS, enemies out there. They ARE
intent on penetrating all western infrastructure so
they can first steal, then paralyze if the moment
is right. They've been very successful - and 'security'
on our end is never anything but 'reactive' ... does
not address the NEXT tricks. Attackers always have
the advantage in these things.
