US Cybersecurity Review Board Reviews Chinese Telecom Hack: Report

A US government commission, the Cyber ​​​​Safety Review Board, will investigate Chinese hacking of US telecommunications networks that may have targeted the phones of prominent Americans such as former President Donald Trump, his running mate Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio and officials from Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign, according to a Wall Street Journal report.

FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency said Friday it was also investigating the hack.

“The US government is investigating unauthorized access to commercial telecommunications infrastructure by actors affiliated with the People’s Republic of China,” the FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency said in a joint statement. “After the FBI identified specific malicious activity targeting the sector, the FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) immediately notified affected companies, provided technical assistance and quickly shared information to help other potential victims” .
