#China #Wiretaps #Americans in 'Worst Hack in Our Nation's History'
China's gov. hackers were able to deeply penetrate U.S. #telecommunications in ways that Biden's administration hasn't yet acknowledged. Hackers were able to listen to calls and read text messages, reportedly exploiting system #US authorities use to #wiretap Americans in criminal cases. Worst part? Networks are still compromised and it may take incredibly drastic measures to boot them from U.S. systems.

Chinese government #hackers penetrated the networks of several large US-based Internet service providers
and may have gained access to systems used for court-authorized #wiretaps of communications networks,
The Wall Street Journal reported Saturday.

"People familiar with the matter" told the WSJ that hackers breached the networks of companies including #Verizon, #ATandT, and Lumen (also known as #CenturyLink).

"A cyberattack tied to the Chinese government penetrated the networks of a swath of US broadband providers,
potentially accessing information from systems the federal government uses for court-authorized network wiretapping requests," the WSJ wrote.

"For months or longer, the hackers might have held access to network infrastructure used to cooperate with lawful US requests for communications data, according to people familiar with the matter."

These "attackers also had access to other tranches of more generic Internet traffic," according to the WSJ's sources.

The attack is being attributed to a Chinese hacking group called #SaltTyphoon.
