The Biden administration this week established a multi-agency team to address a growing crisis involving Chinese cyberattacks on U.S. telecommunications companies, which are believed to be for intelligence gathering. The National Security Agency is among the federal agencies working to understand the scope and impact of the China-linked hack. Concurrently, China's National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center on Monday released a report on VoltTyphoon, accusing U.S. intelligence agencies of conducting cyber espionage and launching 'False Flag' operations to mislead investigators and frame adversary countries.
