US government agency warns employees about possible hacks of Chinese mobile phones

  • The US federal agency warns against using cell phones for work calls
  • Warning comes in the wake of the breach of several US telecom providers
  • The attack is attributed to Salt Typhoon, which also compromised a number of ISPs

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has warned its employees that personal mobile devices should not be used for sensitive work conversations due to recent Chinese investigations into U.S. telecommunications networks.

The CFPB email acknowledges that “while there is no evidence that CFPB is the target of this unauthorized access, I ask for your compliance with these guidelines so that we reduce the risk of being compromised.”
