A 9th telecoms firm has been hit by a massive Chinese espionage campaign

"A ninth U.S. telecoms firm has been confirmed to have been hacked as part of a sprawling
Chinese espionage campaign that gave officials in Beijing access to private texts and phone conversations of an unknown number of Americans, a top White House official said Friday.
Biden administration officials said this month that at least eight telecommunications companies, as well as dozens of nations, had been affected by the
Chinese hacking blitz known as Salt Typhoon.
The update from Neuberger is the latest development in a massive hacking operation that has alarmed national security officials, exposed cybersecurity vulnerabilities in the private sector and laid bare
China's hacking sophistication." MS
