New details have emerged about a major cyber hack attributed to Chinese government-affiliated hackers, who compromised multiple US communications companies. The FBI reports that these hackers accessed sensitive records, intercepted voice calls, and even infiltrated the Justice Department's wiretap system. Most intercepted communications involved government or political figures, raising concerns about the vulnerability of nearly all Americans' communications. Officials advise using encrypted messaging apps like Signal, WhatsApp, or iMessage for secure communication. The hacking group, known as Salt Typhoon, is linked to previous attacks on political campaigns. Understanding the risks of digital connectivity is crucial, as it can be exploited against us. China has denied these hacking claims and accused the US of spreading disinformation.
