Finland says latest Fiber-Optic Cable Break was an Accident, not Sabotage.

In an official statement, Finland's police said they have no ongoing criminal investigation into the recent cable break, dismissing previous reports that the incident was allegedly caused by malicious activity.

As of the time of writing, the cables had been repaired — a day after they were damaged at two separate locations in rural areas. The incident caused a major internet outage in Finland, affecting 6,000 private customers and 100 businesses using the services of the local Global Connect and Elisa telecom operators. Most customer services linked to the cables have already been restored. This week's incident follows recent breaches (intentional or not) of undersea cables in the Baltic Sea. Finland's authorities are currently investigating the damage to the cable that connects Finland and Germany. Earlier last month, another cable connecting Sweden and Lithuania was also damaged. Sweden, Germany and Lithuania have all launched criminal investigations into a Chinese ship that allegedly damaged those cables. It is not yet clear whether the incident was an accident or intentional. German authorities said earlier in November that they assumed the damage to cables in the Baltic Sea was an act of sabotage. Last week, Sweden formally asked China to cooperate with an investigation into damage to the cables. Beijing has denied any involvement in sabotage and said it was willing to work on the investigation. <https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/nov/19/baltic-sea-cables-damage-sabotage-german-minister>

T-Mobile US monitoring China's 'Industry-wide Attack' amid fresh Security Breach Fears.

U.S. telecoms giant T-Mobile has confirmed that it was also among the companies that were targeted by Chinese threat actors to gain access to valuable information. The adversaries, tracked as Salt Typhoon, breached the company as part of a "monthslong campaign" designed to harvest cellphone communications of "high-value intelligence targets." It's not clear what information was taken, if any, during the malicious activity. "T-Mobile is closely monitoring this industry-wide attack, and at this time, T-Mobile systems and data have not been impacted in any significant way, and we have no evidence of impacts to customer information," a spokesperson for the company was quoted as saying to The Wall Street Journal. "We will continue to monitor this closely, working with industry peers and the relevant authorities."
The FBI and CISA noted that the cyber-attacks the telecoms providers resulted in the "theft of customer call records data, the compromise of private communications of a limited number of individuals who are primarily involved in government or political activity, and the copying of certain information that was subject to US law enforcement requests pursuant to court orders." Previous reports suggested that the Chinese snoops, after breaking into the telco’s networks, accessed the wiretapping backdoor-like systems used for court-ordered surveillance and targeted phones belonging to people affiliated with US Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, as well as Republican president-elect Donald Trump and VP-elect JD Vance. <https://www.fbi.gov/news/press-releases/joint-statement-from-fbi-and-cisa-on-the-peoples-republic-of-china-targeting-of-commercial-telecommunications-infrastructure>
