New details are continuing to surface about the hacking of US telecom companies by a China-linked group that targeted US officials and campaign staffers. Now, The Wall Street Journal reports that the hackers access was even greater than whats been previously reported, and that the communications of potentially thousands of Americans may have been impacted. Last week, The New York Times reported that FBI investigators suspected call logs and SMS messages had been accessed by the hacking group, known as Salt Typhoon. The group reportedly targeted the phones of diplomats and government officials, as well as people associated with both presidential campaigns. Now, The WSJ is reporting that the hackers, who were likely working for a Chinese intelligence agency, spent eight months or more in US telecom infrastructure, and that they may have been able to scoop up the data of thousands of people who were in contact with the targeted individuals. The Journal confirms earlier reports that the hackers limited their targets to several dozen select, high-value political and national-security figures. But the hackers, who reportedly exploited routers used by telecom firms, had the ability to access the phone data of virtually any American who is a customer of a compromised carrier a group that includes AT&T and Verizon. Both AT&T and Verizon declined to comment on the report.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/cybersecurity/new-report-details-vast-spying-by-china-linked-telecom-hackers-010347224.html?src=rss

Sony announced that it will stop selling the Airpeak S1 camera drone. Sales of the product will end on March 31, 2025. Sony will also stop selling most of the drone's accessories next year, but replacement batteries and propellers will be available until March 31, 2026. Inspections, repairs and software maintenance will continue through March 31, 2030. The Airpeak S1 was initially introduced during a virtual presentation at CES in 2021. The drone was intended to capture high-definition footage with Sony's full-frame mirrorless interchangeable-lens Alpha cameras. It could fly for 12 minutes with a camera attached and achieved a max flight speed of 55.9mph. While the high-end drone would set buyers back about $9,000 even before buying accessories, it had middling to flat-out negative reviews.

The Internet Archive is continuing the recovery process after a series of DDoS attacks that took down its servers in early October. On Monday, the nonprofit digital library posted on X that its 'Save Page Now' service has been restored to the Wayback Machine. Save Page Now is back online via the Wayback Machine: https://t.co/0x24WHlhAcWeb pages archived since October 9 will start being added to @waybackmachine. pic.twitter.com/fbQxXKSRL5 Internet Archive (@internetarchive) November 4, 2024 The Wayback Machine resumed operation in read-only mode on October 14; now users can upload new web pages to record their information and access them later. As the X post notes, the Wayback Machine will begin collecting web pages that have been archived since October 9 when the entire site was taken down. The October DDoS attacks coincided with the Internet Archive's move to disclose a data breach that saw more than 31 million records taken. Security researcher Troy Hunt, who runs the Have I Been Pwned? service for monitoring compromised accounts, said that the two actions against the Internet Archive were "entirely coincidental" and likely taken by "multiple parties."This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/cybersecurity/the-internet-archives-wayback-machine-is-fully-back-in-action-with-saving-pages-223736576.html?src=rss
