FBI Warns Against Cross-Platform Texting for Security Reasons

The FBI has warned iPhone and Android users to avoid texting each other due to a major Chinese cyberattack, "Salt Typhoon," which compromised communications of over 100 U.S. government officials. While Android-to-Android and iPhone-to-iPhone messaging is deemed secure, cross-platform texting is not. The FBI recommends using encrypted messaging apps like WhatsApp for secure communication. The Chinese Embassy has denied involvement in the hacking campaign.
