US Senate panel to hold hearing on Chinese hacking incidents

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A U.S. Senate Judiciary subcommittee overseeing technology issues will hold a hearing Tuesday on Chinese hacking incidents, including a recent incident involving American telecom companies.



The hearing to be chaired by Senator Richard Blumenthal will review the threats "Chinese hacking and influence pose to our democracy, national security, and economy," his office said, adding the senator plans "to raise concerns about Elon Musk’s potential conflicts of interest with China as Mr. Musk becomes increasingly involved in government affairs."

The hearing will include CrowdStrike (NASDAQ:CRWD ) Senior Vice President Adam Meyers and Telecommunications Industry Association CEO David Stehlin.
