Lumen Technologies, alongside AT&T and Verizon Communications, is facing a federal probe regarding an alleged China-linked cyberattack. Reports indicate that Chinese hackers accessed networks of U.S. broadband providers, potentially compromising systems used by the federal government for court-authorized wiretapping requests.
The Wall Street Journal reported that hackers obtained information from these systems, with Lumen identified as one of the telecommunications companies whose networks were breached. This incident raises concerns about national security and the integrity of critical communication infrastructure.
A bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers, including House Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers and Representative Frank Pallone, has formally requested answers from the implicated companies. This inquiry signals escalating scrutiny and potential regulatory actions following the reported intrusion.
