A recent cybersecurity advisory issued by the National Informatics Centre (NIC) has raised alarms about an increase in 'vishing' attacks targeting government officials. The advisory warns officials against trusting Caller ID information. Concurrently, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has instructed its employees to reduce the use of cellphones for work due to risks from a China-linked telecom intrusion. The FBI is investigating evidence that a Chinese cyber espionage unit hacked iPhones belonging to senior officials of a presidential campaign and Trump's lead defense attorney. Hackers, working on behalf of China's intelligence services, were able to gain access to Blanche's text messages and capture audio recordings of phone calls.
