The U.S. government is urging senior politicians and high-ranking officials to lock down their devices amid the ongoing Chinese breaches of at least eight major telecom providers.

The agency also recommends the use of phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication and telecom-level account PINs to protect against SIM-swapping attacks.
