Chinese intelligence is continuing a massive hack of US telecom networks in a cyber campaign that allows it to access the communications of almost every American, according to a top Democratic senator. Senator Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate intelligence committee who recently got a briefing on the extensive cyber campaign known as \u201cSalt Typhoon\u201d, said China was still infiltrating the US system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI believe they are still inside [our networks],\u201d Warner told a Defense Writers Group event. Warner said he received a \u201creally frustrating\u201d government briefing with conflicting accounts about the Trump administration\u2019s response to Salt Typhoon. According to the senator, the FBI said US networks were \u201cpretty clean\u201d despite contradictory evidence from several intelligence agencies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOther parts of our community are saying, \u2018Hell no, it\u2019s still going on\u2019,\u201d said Warner, who added that he had eight documents from agencies raising concerns about Salt Typhoon which has been ongoing for at least two years. \u201cIt is baffling to me that this is not a bigger issue,\u201d said Warner, who lamented that it might take some kind of \u201ccatastrophic event\u201d before the US government became more serious about tackling Salt Typhoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
