Lunar New Year Cyberclash: US Fires Back at China's Salt Typhoon Espionage Attack, FCC and DOJ Make Bold Moves
This is your US-China CyberPulse: Defense Updates podcast.
Hey there, I'm Ting, and I'm here to give you the lowdown on the latest US-China CyberPulse. It's been a wild few days, so let's dive right in.
First off, the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has been making some big moves to counter Chinese cyber threats. Just last month, they announced new measures to mandate telecom carriers to secure their networks. This is all part of a broader effort to strengthen US communications against future cyberattacks, including those from state-sponsored actors in China. FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel emphasized the importance of this, stating that the cybersecurity of our nation's communications critical infrastructure is essential to promoting national security, public safety, and economic security.
But that's not all. The Department of Justice (DOJ) has also finalized a new rule restricting sensitive data transfers to countries of concern, including China. Starting in April 2025, US companies will need to adopt government-imposed cybersecurity standards before entering into transactions that give Chinese entities access to sensitive US data. This rule is part of a broader effort to prevent countries like China from using sensitive data to undermine national security.
Now, let's talk about the Salt Typhoon attack. This was a massive espionage campaign that targeted several US and international telecommunications companies, including T-Mobile. The attack was confirmed by a top US security agency, and it's clear that Chinese state-sponsored actors were behind it. Deputy National Security Advisor for Cyber Anne Neuberger highlighted the severity of the situation, stating that the Chinese government now has broad and full access to Americans' data and the capability to geolocate millions of individuals.
But don't worry, the US is fighting back. The incoming administration is taking a different approach to cybersecurity, focusing on regulation and intelligence-sharing. However, some experts, like David Sedney, former deputy assistant secretary of defense, believe that things are going to get much worse before they get any better.
On a lighter note, today is the Chinese Lunar New Year, and I'm celebrating with some amazing music. The US-China Music Institute of the Bard College Conservatory of Music is hosting a concert featuring dramatic orchestral works and world-class Chinese instrument soloists. It's a great reminder that even in the midst of cyber threats, there's still room for cultural exchange and celebration.
So, there you have it – the latest US-China CyberPulse. It's been a wild ride, but with new defensive strategies, government policies, and international cooperation efforts, we're fighting back against Chinese cyber threats. Stay safe, and happy Lunar New Year.
