FBI Network Breach Targets Surveillance Systems Hackers have reportedly compromised an FBI network used to manage wiretaps and foreign intelligence surveillance warrants, according to a CNN report citing an anonymous source. The breach was confirmed by an FBI spokesperson, who stated that the bureau detected and addressed "suspicious activities" on its systems, though no further details were provided. The incident marks the latest in a string of high-profile cyberattacks on U.S. government agencies and corporations. Last year, Chinese hackers infiltrated the U.S. Treasury and the National Nuclear Security Administration, while Russian operatives stole sealed court records. Separately, a Chinese state-linked group, Salt Typhoon, breached at least 200 U.S. companies, including major telecommunications providers like AT&T, Verizon, Lumen, Charter Communications, and Windstream. The FBI has not disclosed the extent of the breach or the identity of the attackers, but the incident underscores ongoing cybersecurity threats to critical U.S. infrastructure.

The California Office of the Attorney General reported a data breach involving Windstream Holdings II, LLC on November 18, 2020. The breach occurred due to unauthorized access to internal systems between July 11, 2020, and August 23, 2020, potentially affecting personal information of an unknown number of individuals.
