Washington (AP) According to a top White House official, a Chinese cyber campaign has affected dozens of countries and at least eight U.S. telecom companies on Wednesday.
Anne Neuberger, the deputy national security adviser, provided fresh information regarding the scope of the extensive Chinese hacking campaign that allowed Beijing authorities to access the private phone conversations and messages of an undetermined number of Americans.
One day after the FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency released guidelines aimed at identifying the hackers and preventing future instances of cyberespionage, Neuberger revealed the extent of the hack. White House officials warned that the number of affected countries and telecom companies could continue to rise.
