Cyberattack on US telecommunications part of Chinese surveillance operation

The FBI and the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on Wednesday issued a warning that the breach, initially discovered late last month, has since uncovered a wide-reaching and serious cyber espionage operation.

Investigators now believe that a cyberattack on US telecommunications systems, initially thought to be targeting American presidential campaigns, is much more extensive. It is likely part of a broader effort by China to conduct widespread surveillance on the United States, as reported by Voice of America.
