FCC to vote on reversing telecom security rulemakings next month

The article reports that the FCC is expected to vote to reverse security mandates enacted after Salt Typhoon, a Chinese MSS-backed cyberespionage group, breached dozens of telecom firms and hijacked lawful-intercept/wiretap systems — a campaign the FBI said affected over 80 countries and led to notifications for some 600 organizations — and describes debate over the FCC's CALEA authority and whether the earlier rules were an effective or legally sound response.
