US Government officials urged to lock down devices amid telecoms breach

• CISA has released an advisory for US government communications
• Government officials are encouraged to lock down their devices
• This follows the discovery foreign actors have breached US telecoms networks

CISA has urged ‘highly targeted’ individuals in the US Government or in senior political positions to immediately review and implement strict security measures with their mobile devices.

This comes after multiple major US telecoms firms were hit by security breaches earlier in 2024, most likely originating from state-sponsored Chinese hackers.
