FCC Chair Carr Looks to Eliminate Telecom Cybersecurity Ruling
FCC Chair Brendan Carr plans to eliminate a declaratory ruling aimed at strengthening telecom network security.
The ruling, made by his predecessor, requires carriers to ensure sufficient cybersecurity protections are in place, following widespread hacks by China's Salt Typhoon threat group.
- The ruling was made in response to poor cybersecurity highlighted by the Salt Typhoon attack on US telecom networks.
- Brendan Carr voted against the declaration when it was made in January.
The decision was made under then-Chair Jessica Rosenworcel, citing a 30-year-old law governing US telecommunications companies' cooperation with law enforcement.
