WASHINGTON — A top White House official said Wednesday at least eight U.S. telecom firms and dozens of nations were impacted by a Chinese hacking campaign. Deputy national security adviser Anne Neuberger offered new details about the breadth of the sprawling Chinese hacking campaign that gave officials in Beijing access to private texts and phone conversations of an unknown number of Americans.

(AP Photo/Kiichiro Sato, File) Neuberger divulged the scope of the hack a day after the FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency issued guidance intended to help root out the hackers and prevent similar cyberespionage in the future. White House officials cautioned that the number of telecommunication firms and countries impacted could grow. People are also reading...

She added that Biden was briefed on the findings and the White House “made it a priority for the federal government to do everything it can to get to the bottom this.” US officials recommend encrypted messaging apps amid "Salt Typhoon" cyberattack, attributed to China, targeting AT&T, Verizon, and others. The Chinese embassy in Washington rejected the accusations that it was responsible for the hack Tuesday after the U.S. federal authorities issued new guidance. “The U.S. needs to stop its own cyberattacks against other countries and refrain from using cyber security to smear and slander China,” embassy spokesperson Liu Pengyu said. The embassy did not immediately respond to messages Wednesday. White House officials believe the hacking was regionally targeted and the focus was on very senior government officials. Federal authorities confirmed in October that hackers linked to China targeted the phones of then-presidential candidate Donald Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance, along with people associated with Democratic candidate Vice President Kamala Harris. FBI tells telecom firms to boost security following wide-ranging Chinese hacking campaign By DAVID KLEPPER - Associated Press The number of countries impacted by the hack is currently believed to be in the “low, couple dozen,” according to a senior administration official. The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity under rules set by the White House, said they believed the hacks started at least a year or two ago. The suggestions for telecom companies released Tuesday are largely technical in nature, urging encryption, centralization and consistent monitoring to deter cyber intrusions. If implemented, the security precautions could help disrupt the operation, dubbed Salt Typhoon, and make it harder for China or any other nation to mount a similar attack in the future, experts say. Trump's pick to head the Federal Bureau of Investigation Kash Patel was allegedly the target of cyberattack attempt by Iranian-backed hackers. Neuberger pointed to efforts made to beef up cybersecurity in the rail, aviation, energy and other sectors following the May 2021 ransomware attack on Colonial Pipeline . “So, to prevent ongoing Salt Typhoon type intrusions by China, we believe we need to apply a similar minimum cybersecurity practice,” Neuberger said. The cyberattack by a gang of criminal hackers on the critical U.S. pipeline, which delivers about 45% of the fuel used along the Eastern Seaboard, sent ripple effects across the economy, highlighting cybersecurity vulnerabilities in the nation’s aging energy infrastructure. Colonial confirmed it paid $4.4 million to the gang of hackers who broke into its computer systems as it scrambled to get the nation's fuel pipeline back online. 5 tips for protecting your phone while traveling abroad 5 tips for protecting your phone while traveling abroad Picture this: You're on vacation in a city abroad, exploring museums, tasting the local cuisine, and people-watching at cafés. Everything is going perfectly until you get a series of alerts on your phone. Someone is making fraudulent charges using your credit card, sending you into a panic. How could this have happened? Cyberattacks targeting travelers are nothing new. But as travel has increased in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, so has the volume of hackers and cybercriminals preying upon tourists. Financial fraud is the most common form of cybercrime experienced by travelers, but surveillance via public Wi-Fi networks, social media hacking, and phishing scams are also common, according to a survey by ExpressVPN . Spokeo consulted cybersecurity sources and travel guides to determine some of the best ways to protect your phone while traveling, from using a VPN to managing secure passwords. Online attacks are not the only type of crime impacting travelers—physical theft of phones is also a threat. Phones have become such invaluable travel aids, housing our navigation tools, digital wallets, itineraries, and contacts, that having your phone stolen, lost, or compromised while abroad can be devastating. Meanwhile, traveling can make people uniquely vulnerable to both cyber and physical attacks due to common pitfalls like oversharing on social media and letting your guard down when it comes to taking risks online. Luckily, there are numerous precautions travelers can take to safeguard against cyberattacks and phone theft. Use a VPN Hackers can—and do—target public Wi-Fi networks at cafés and hotels to gain access to your personal information or install malware onto your device, particularly on unsecured networks. Travelers are especially vulnerable to these types of cybersecurity breaches because they are often more reliant on public Wi-Fi than they would be in their home countries where they have more robust phone plans. This reliance on public, unsecured networks means travelers are more likely to use those networks to perform sensitive tasks like financial transfers, meaning hackers can easily gain access to banking information or other passwords. One easy way to safeguard yourself against these breaches is to use a virtual private network, or VPN, while traveling. VPNs are apps that encrypt your data and hide your location, preventing hackers from accessing personal information. An added bonus is that VPNs allow you to access websites that may be blocked or unavailable in the country you are visiting. To use a VPN, simply download a VPN app on your phone or computer, create an account, choose a server, and connect. Wear a cross-body bag or antitheft strap Pickpockets, scammers, and flagrant, snatch-your-phone-right-out-of-your-hand thieves can be found pretty much everywhere. In London, for instance, a staggering 91,000 phones were reported stolen to police in 2022 , breaking down to an average of 248 per day, according to the BBC. Whether you're visiting a crowded tourist attraction or just want peace of mind, travel experts advise taking precautions to make sure your phone isn't physically stolen or compromised while traveling. There are several antitheft options to choose from. If you want a bag that will protect your phone from theft, experts recommend looking for features like slash-resistant fabric, reinforced shoulder straps, hidden zippers that can be locked, and secure attachment points, like a cross-body strap or a sturdy clip. For tethers, look for those made of tear-resistant material with a reinforced clip or ring. Back up your phone's data If your phone falls into the wrong hands, there's a good chance you won't be getting it back. Out of those 91,000 phones stolen in London in 2022, only 1,915 (or about 2%) were recovered. The good news is that you can take precautions to make the loss of your phone less devastating by backing up your data before you travel. With backed-up data, you can acquire a new device and still access your photos, contacts, messages, and passwords. Moreover, if you have "Find My Device" or "Find My Phone" enabled, you can remotely wipe your stolen phone's data so the thief cannot access it. It's safest to back up your data to a hard drive and not just the cloud. That way, if you have to wipe your device, you don't accidentally erase the backup, too. Turn on "Find My Phone" In order for the previous tip on this list to work, "Find My Phone" must be turned on in advance, but remotely wiping your device isn't the only thing this feature allows you to do. The "Find My Phone" feature enables you to track your device, as long as it's turned on and not in airplane mode. This is particularly helpful if you misplaced your phone or left it somewhere since it can help you retrace your steps. While this feature won't show you the live location of a phone that has been turned off, it will show the phone's last known location. With "Find My Phone," you can also remotely lock your phone or enable "Lost Mode," which locks down the phone, suspends any in-phone payment methods, and displays contact information for returning the phone to you. If your phone was stolen, experts caution against taking matters into your own hands by chasing down the thief, since this could land you in a potentially dangerous situation and is unlikely to result in getting your phone back. Protect your passwords Strong passwords for important accounts help protect your information while you travel, but it's just a first step. The National Cybersecurity Alliance recommends creating long, unique, and complex passwords for every account and combining them with multifactor authentication to create maximum barriers to entry. If you're worried about remembering these passwords, password managers can be a vital tool for both creating and storing strong passwords. Password managers are apps that act as secure vaults for all your passwords. Some even come with a feature that allows you to temporarily delete sensitive passwords before you travel and then easily restore them once you return. Story editing by Mia Nakaji Monnier.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The acting director of the Secret Service said Thursday that the agency is “reorganizing and reimagining” its culture and how it operates following an assassination attempt against Donald Trump on the campaign trail. Members of a bipartisan House task force investigating the attempt on Trump's life pushed Ronald Rowe on how the agency’s staffers could have missed such blatant security vulnerabilities leading up to the July 13 shooting at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. At one point, the hearing devolved into a shouting match between Rowe and a Republican congressman. Rowe promised accountability for what he called the agency’s “abject failure” to secure the rally in Butler, where a gunman opened fire from a nearby building. Trump was wounded in the ear, one rallygoer was killed and two others were wounded. Another assassination attempt two months later contributed to the agency’s troubles. That gunman waited for hours for Trump to appear at his golf course in Florida, but a Secret Service agent thwarted the attack by spotting the firearm poking through bushes. The task force has been investigating both attempts, but it was the July shooting that dominated Thursday’s hearing. Its inquiry is one of a series of investigations and reports that have faulted the agency for planning and communications failures. The agency’s previous director resigned, and the Secret Service increased protections for Trump before the Republican won the November election. Rowe was repeatedly asked by flabbergasted lawmakers how problems so obvious in hindsight were allowed to happen. Rep. Jason Crow, a Colorado Democrat, said it was “just wild to me” that at a time of tech advances, the Secret Service was using text messages and emails to communicate in real time about threats. He also asked Rowe why so many things went wrong that day “yet nobody said anything.” Rowe said the agency used to have a culture where people felt comfortable speaking up. “I don’t know where we lost that,” he said. “We have to get back to that.” Rowe said the agency is putting a much stronger emphasis on training — something previous investigations found was lacking — and on doing more regular reviews of events to see what went right and where improvements can be made. “We are reorganizing and reimaging this organization," Rowe told lawmakers. He said the agency needs to identify possible leaders much earlier in their careers instead of just promoting people to command positions because they have been around a long time. The hearing was largely cordial, with members of Congress stressing the bipartisan nature of their work and praising Rowe for cooperating with their investigation even as they pushed him for explanations. But at one point, Rowe and Rep. Pat Fallon, a Texas Republican, faced off — shouting over each other as other members pleaded for order. Fallon pulled out a photo of President Joe Biden, Trump and others at this year's Sept. 11 ceremony in New York and asked Rowe why he was at the event, suggesting it was to burnish his prospects at getting the director job permanently. Trump has not yet named his pick to lead the agency. “I was there to show respect for a Secret Service member that died on 9/11. Do not invoke 9/11 for political purposes!” Rowe shouted. “You wanted to be visible because you were auditioning for this job that you’re not going to get!” Fallon later shot back. Rowe roared back: "You are out of line, Congressman. You are out of line!” “You're a bully,” Fallon said. This was the task force’s second public hearing and the first time that Rowe has addressed its members in public. The panel has until Dec. 13 to release its final report. Rep. Mark Green, a Tennessee Republican, said the agency’s conduct during the July shooting seemed almost “lackadaisical.” He said some of the issues that went wrong that day were ”really basic things.” “It speaks of an apathy or a complacency that is really unacceptable in an organization like the Secret Service,” Green said. The task force conducted 46 transcribed interviews, attended over a dozen briefings and reviewed over 20,000 documents. Members also visited the site of both assassination attempts and went to the FBI’s laboratory in Quantico, Virginia, to look at evidence. Rowe said Thursday that the agency's internal investigation , whose findings were released last month, identified failures by multiple employees. He noted that the quality of the advance work — the people who scope out event locations ahead of time — did not meet agency standards. He vowed accountability for those who fell down on the job. Many of the investigations have centered on why buildings near the rally with a clear line of sight to the stage where Trump was speaking were not secured in advance. The gunman, Thomas Crooks, climbed onto the roof of one of them and opened fire before being killed by a Secret Service counter-sniper. Rowe pointed to the failure to protect the building as the most glaring oversight that day. He also was asked about the morale of agents and new hires. Rowe said applications are actually up this year — the agency made a net gain of about 200 agents during the past fiscal year, meaning both new agents were hired and veteran agents retained.New Blackhawks interim coach Anders Sorensen knows precisely what he must do to give himself a chance to earn the full-time job after the season. “Win games,” he said with a chuckle, cutting straight to the point — in classic Sorensen fashion — after overseeing his first NHL practice Friday. That will be much easier said than done with this roster. Just-axed coach Luke Richardson wasn’t doing a fantastic job this season, but it’s very possible nobody else could’ve done much better — despite general manager Kyle Davidson’s belief that ineffective coaching has contributed to the team’s struggles. How Sorensen fares will help determine whether Davidson was right or wrong about that. Davidson said he will give his former AHL coach “autonomy to run the room and run the team as he sees fit,” and that process began in earnest Friday. The first drill of practice was a straightforward tape-to-tape passing exercise from blue line to blue line, straight out of a youth hockey handbook. The fact the Hawks’ passing has been so inaccurate this season that such a drill was necessary speaks volumes. "[Anders] was sharp to stop a drill and correct us,” forward Jason Dickinson said. “We’re working on some new things as a group to shake things up [and] create a little bit more energy in our attack. He stops it right away and says, ‘This is what I’m seeing. This is what I want. Let’s talk about it immediately and fix it. Great, let’s go.’” In Rockford, Sorensen was required to use the same systems the Hawks used so that players could transition seamlessly when called up. He had little freedom to be a tactician there. But that’s no longer the case. It sounds like his system adjustments with the Hawks are intended to increase offense. That’s unsurprising, considering the team ranks 29th in the NHL in goals and 32nd in scoring chances per minute during five-on-five play this season (compared to 15th and 26th, respectively, in those same two categories defensively). “We want to encourage our [defensemen] to be up in the rush,” Sorensen said. “We need to get skating here. We have a team that can move and we have some guys that can really fly out there, so [we’ll] try to play to their strength. [I’m] encouraging guys to be up the ice more and defend on the front of our foot with our forecheck...versus waiting.” A more free-flowing, offense-oriented scheme should theoretically boost struggling star Connor Bedard. Aggressiveness in the neutral zone was also emphasized in practice Friday, captain Nick Foligno said. Sorensen said he planned to meet one-on-one with Bedard before Saturday’s game against the Jets to hear Bedard’s own thoughts about what could help him, but Sorensen has one big idea already: “We have to [find] a way for him to get the puck in motion.” Establishing consistency in line combinations will be another priority for Sorensen, since that’s something Richardson seemingly didn’t even try to achieve this fall. To start off, he has Bedard centering Philipp Kurashev and Teuvo Teravainen on the first line and Ryan Donato centering Taylor Hall and Tyler Bertuzzi on the second line; the third and fourth lines stayed the same. “Chemistry is a big part of it,” Sorensen said. “We want to try to be patient with some of the guys. But there has to be accountability, too. If you’re not playing the way we want you to play or not putting the effort in, there are times you’ll have to change the lines.”

is up to launch the Redmi K80 series on November 27, and the spotlight will be on the Redmi K80 Pro, powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite. But Xiaomi isn’t stopping there. Alongside the new smartphones, Redmi has the release of two more products: the Redmi Watch 5 and the Redmi Buds 6 Pro. Redmi Watch 5 and Redmi Buds 6 Pro coming on November 27 The Redmi Watch 5 is the third model in Redmi’s line of budget-friendly smartwatches, following the and earlier this year. This new smartwatch will feature a 2.07-inch display, likely using LTPS AMOLED technology for sharp visuals. It comes with a sturdy aluminum frame and a metal dial on the right-hand side for navigation. The watch will be available in Black and White and offers 24-hour battery life on a single charge. It will also run Xiaomi’s Hyper OS 2.0 right out of the box. Gizchina News of the week The Redmi Buds 6 Pro marks a step up for Redmi’s earbuds lineup. These will be the first in the series to feature coaxial ceramic drivers, bringing improved sound quality and a more premium feel. Xiaomi is also introducing active noise cancelation (ANC) for the Buds 6 Pro, capable of reducing noise by up to 55dB, making them ideal for noisy environments. With this lineup, Xiaomi is adding exciting new products to its portfolio. We will see the introduction of more advanced features while the brand will also keep its focus on affordability. Perhaps we will see more teasers about these products coming ahead of November 27. It will certainly be a hectic week for all enthusiasts of the brand. While the Redmi K80 series might get a later release on international markets as POCO F-series smartphones, the Redmi Watch 5 and Redmi Buds 6 Pro will likely keep their monikers for a global release. Hopefully, this global release won’t take much longer, but chances are that they will only escape China in 2025.

MUMBAI: Investigations by the cyber crime branch of the Mumbai police into the data leak at HDFC Life Insurance Company Ltd has revealed that the e-mails and messages threatening to leak their customer data, had been sent from Thailand. The police said they have identified the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the sender and will soon send a Letter Rogatory (LR), requesting assistance from Thai authorities. “When we wrote to various agencies to get details of the senders, we learnt that the data was downloaded in Thailand. The emails and messages, too, were sent from that country,” said a police officer. “We have narrowed down on the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the sender and will soon issue a Letter Rogatory (LR) seeking co-operation from Thai authorities to get more details about the accused.” The case was registered on November 21, under sections 308(3) (extortion) and 351 (4) (criminal intimidation) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, and relevant sections of the Information Technology Act, 2000, after HDFC Life Insurance Company Ltd lodged a complaint, claiming unknown cyber frauds had stolen their customer data and were demanding money by threatening to leak the same. “On November19, the company received e-mails stating that the company’s customer data had been breached. The sender gave two days to contact him for negotiations, threatening to sell the data if the company failed to do so,” said a police officer. “Details of 99 customers were attached to the mails. The leaked data contained names, policy numbers, addresses, and mobile numbers of customers.” The company received more mails and messages on November 20 and 21. One such message read: “If you choose to negotiate, it goes without saying that this will prevent you from suffering losses of hundreds of billions of rupees in terms of customer data leakage, reputation, stock market and regulatory pressure.” After the company confirmed with the help of experts that the sender was a hacker and was trying to blackmail the company, it decided to approach the police and, also, inform the regulatory authorities. In a disclosure to the stock exchanges, the company wrote: “We wish to inform that we have received communication from an unknown source, who has shared certain data fields of our customers with us, with malafide intent. We value the data privacy of our customers and, as an immediate measure, we have initiated an information security assessment and data log analysis. A detailed investigation is underway in consultation with information security experts to assess the root cause and take remedial action, as necessary.”
