Senators Warn the Pentagon: Get a Handle on China’s Telecom Hacking - Wired

Quick Summary:

In a letter to the Department of Defense, senators Ron Wyden and Eric Schmitt are calling for an investigation into fallout from the Salt Typhoon espionage campaign.

CISA and FBI officials told reporters on Tuesday that telecom companies are still working to expel Salt Typhoon hackers from their networks and that the US government is actively helping victims clean house while also assisting them in hardening their defenses to prevent new compromise.

DoD said at the time that for its own use it had mitigated some of the exposures posed by the telecoms’ poor security by using encryption, but the Department admitted that other vulnerabilities, like the potential for foreign actors to do location tracking on individual mobile devices, could only be fixed by the telecoms themselves.
