💨 Abstract

US Representatives John Moolenaar and Raja Krishnamoorthi have requested closed-door briefings from Verizon, AT&T, and LumenTech following reports of a Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-sponsored cyber attack on these telecom companies. The attack, allegedly conducted by hacking group Salt Typhoon, may have compromised systems used for court-authorized wiretapping requests, potentially posing significant national security risks.
