The US Department of Justice's investigation reportedly began in 2012

The US Department of Justice's investigation reportedly began in 2012 when a company called T-Mobile USA, a subsidiary of Nokia, was found to have been responsible for hacking into T-Mobile's servers. T-Mobile and other telcos have denied any wrongdoing. T-Mobile CEO Randall Stephenson testified before Congress this summer that the company was not aware of the allegations.

The case is likely the most serious case of telecom-connected espionage in US history. The United States is an important trading partner in a number of telecommunications sectors. But the Chinese company has long been accused of espionage by the US government. In July, Attorney General Eric Holder visited T-Mobile for a meeting and, in fact, announced that T-Mobile had stopped selling the iPhone 6. The DOJ says it is investigating as many as 100 Chinese and US intelligence agencies for spying on the US government. The FBI, the US Attorney's office in Denver, and the FBI's Central Intelligence Agency have all been working with the Chinese government to investigate whether the company is involved with the Chinese hacking.

The Chinese government is also accused of stealing technology from AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon. The US is also under investigation by the FBI over data theft from Verizon's mobile broadband network. The US government has been investigating Apple, Samsung, and other telecoms for its alleged role in Chinese government propaganda.

In May, the Federal Communications Commission announced it had taken up the issue of the NSA's NSA spying program. In December, former Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam was sentenced to 20 years in prison for his role in the NSA's massive surveillance activities.The video will start in 8 Cancel
