FCC Rolls Back Cybersecurity Rules, Leaving Americans Vulnerable
Update: 2025-11-21
Description
FCC Removes Cybersecurity Rules, Leaving U.S. Telecom Giants Unsecured: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has voted to eliminate cybersecurity standards for phone and internet companies, leaving them vulnerable to unauthorized access and communication interception. This decision, backed by two Trump-appointed commissioners, has been criticized by the sole Democratic commissioner and lawmakers, who warn that it will expose Americans to increased cyber threats. The move comes after a major hacking campaign by a China-backed group, Salt Typhoon, which targeted over two hundred U.S. telecom companies, including AT&T, Verizon, and Lumen.
