US President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping addressed US accusations against China of a large-scale cyber espionage campaign in US telecommunications, US national security adviser Jake Sullivan said on Sunday.
“The issue of piracy of American telecommunications arose. “I’m not going to speak publicly about what was said.” Sullivan told reporters in a briefing after the meeting, noting that the United States would share more information as the investigation progressed.
On Thursday, the FBI and the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Protection Agency said they had uncovered a massive cyberespionage campaign on U.S. telecommunications allegedly carried out by China. The spying aims to obtain data on calls and messages from “a limited number of people who are primarily involved in government or political activities.”
Media reported that China’s target could be the phones of the Republican presidential candidate who won the US election. donald trump and vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance.
The United States has repeatedly stated that hackers associated with China are attacking computer systems and critical infrastructure. Beijing generally denies any accusation of cyberattacks attributed to Chinese-backed structures and accuses the United States of organizing its own cyberattacks, RIA Novosti recalls.
