Sen. Rubio: The Chinese Hacking of U.S. Telecom Companies Is a Threat Maybe Not Directly to the Election But Certainly to Our Nat’l Security

‘It’s a very serious situation that we face’

EXCERPT:

RUBIO: "Well, I'm not going to comment on what they access, but I agree with Mark Warner's statement. It is an egregious, outrageous and dangerous breach of our telecommunications systems across multiple companies. I will leave it at that. I think, as time goes on, we're going to learn more about it. Some of it will be made public. I think there's more that's still being gathered. It's a very serious situation that we face and I think one that is quite threatening, maybe not directly to the election per se, but certainly to the national security of our country moving forward. It's a vulnerability that no one imagined or anticipated, but here it is."
