Jeff writes, "Three Internet security experts have accused
state-owned telecom giant China Telecom of diverting internal U.S.
Internet traffic through China. The purpose, apparently, was
corporate espionage."
According to Doug Madory, an expert on Internet traffic at Silicon
Valley software maker Oracle, China Telecom’s network sent out
false signals that diverted Internet traffic supposedly bound for
the Verizon network onto the China Telecom network. The traffic
passed through Hangzhou and other Chinese cities, and this went on
undetected for an incredible 30 months, from late 2015 through
2017, according to Madory.
