“The European Parliament has asked lawmakers, parliamentary assistants and staff to use Signal, an end-to-end-encrypted messaging app, as an instant messaging tool for work-related communications, according to an internal email seen by POLITICO. ‘Due to a recent increase in threat on commercial telecommunications infrastructure and following certain incidents targeting large telecommunications companies mainly in the U.S., the risk of interception or manipulation of unsecure communications via public networks has increased,’ the email said. The advice comes after it was revealed that a China-linked hacking group called Salt Typhoon conducted large-scale intrusions on U.S. and global telecommunication providers.” (02/13/25)
