On Wednesday, deputy national security adviser Anne Neuberger announced that at least eight U.S. telecom companies had been breached by a Chinese hacking operation known as "Salt Typhoon." The operation accessed private text messages and phone conversations involving an undisclosed number of Americans.

The hackers are believed to have successfully intercepted the communications of senior government officials and high-profile political figures. However, Neuberger said the government did not think "any classified communications" had been accessed.

In response to the attack, the FBI and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) released guidance aimed at identifying the hackers and preventing future cyberattacks.

Since communications between iPhone and Android users are not encrypted by default, agency officials urged Americans to stop sending texts between the two operating systems or use third-party apps with end-to-end encryption.

I have better idea. Every text message I send is going to now be signed with "Xi Jingping dresses like Winnie The Pooh and goes to furry sex parties."

Just so many things about this I don't like.

I don't like needing to install and use a compulsory encryption app because we can't stop it.

Knowing the PRISM folks can't stop it. And basically admit the Chinese have an upper hand on the spyware front. Like our own backdoor software we insisted on being put in all smart phones was the part of it compromised and they just won't say it.

I honestly don't know how encryption of text messages works or what end to end protection entails, but I do know all those phones were built in China.

So are you gonna fear The CCP? Obviously, China is such a pathetic insecure country they need to know everything everyone says.

I can see why with the hardball with China, especially the app and microchip related export embargo.

Time to stop letting China do China.
