Joint Statement from FBI and CISA on the People's Republic of China
Targeting of Commercial Telecommunications Infrastructure
The U.S. government's continued investigation into the People's Republic
of China (PRC) targeting of commercial telecommunications infrastructure
has revealed a broad and significant cyber espionage campaign.
Specifically, we have identified that PRC-affiliated actors have
compromised networks at multiple telecommunications companies to enable
the theft of customer call records data, the compromise of private communications of a limited number of individuals who are primarily
involved in government or political activity, and the copying of certain information that was subject to U.S. law enforcement requests pursuant
to court orders. We expect our understanding of these compromises to
grow as the investigation continues.
The FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) continue to render technical assistance, rapidly share information to
assist other potential victims, and work to strengthen cyber defenses
across the commercial communications sector. We encourage any
organization that believes it might be a victim to engage its local FBI
field office or CISA.
