This tuesday US cyber-security teams shared a not-so-good update about their work with telecom companies (the situation remains complex). The FBI and CISA specialists still dont have success removing foreign hackers from internet providers networks.
These cyber-intruders from China got into important systems about three months ago; since then government teams met with many tech-companies to help fix security issues. The meetings included detailed info-sharing and network scanning but didnt solve the problem — hackers stay hidden in the systems.
Top officials now suggest a work-around while they keep trying to secure the networks: everyone should use end-to-end encrypted messaging apps and voice-calls. The government teams dont give any time-frame for when theyll fix this issue; they just keep working with internet providers to find better ways to protect user data
