Chinese Hackers Access Data From Over 1 Million Mobile Users, FBI Confirms

U.S. officials have uncovered a major Chinese espionage campaign targeting American mobile phone users, with over a million customers potentially affected. Hackers exploited vulnerabilities in major telecommunications networks, accessing vast data such as call logs, locations, and, in some cases, audio calls and text messages. High-profile Americans were among the targets, including a cabinet secretary and a top Homeland Security adviser. The FBI and Homeland Security revealed China also accessed sensitive Department of Justice data, raising concerns about compromised investigations.
