Previously coined the CenturyLink ® Tower, The U-Haul Tower was built in 1989. While plans call for The U-Haul Tower to become the new anchor of the U-Haul Midtown Campus, a thoughtfully planned transition of U-Haul field-support teams to 20 E. Thomas from 2727 N. Central Ave. (one block away) is expected to take place over the next 24 months.

It reflects the position our team has built as an industry and community leader over the past eight decades,” stated Sam Shoen, Vice Chair of U-Haul Holding Company. “For the past 57 years, U-Haul has been headquartered in Midtown Phoenix. As we look out to the decades to come, The U-Haul Tower will be home to the premier workforce in the Valley.” U-Haul has been based in Phoenix since 1967, when it relocated from Portland and moved into the distinctive Central Towers, two symmetrical 11-story offices (built in 1959). In 1970, U-Haul opened its Technical Center on South Priest Drive in Tempe, where it continues to research, design, engineer, test and assemble its famous orange trailers, truck boxes, U-Box ® portable containers, and other products. The U-Haul Midtown Campus has grown extensively during the last decade and includes numerous properties lining Roanoke Avenue between Central and 3rd Street. Among those is the 54,208-square-foot Shoen Family Conference and Fitness Center, the country’s premier corporate wellness center and a campus showpiece since 2021. Its opening reaffirmed the Company’s commitment to its Team Members and its long-term investment in the Midtown community. “I vividly recall when my father relocated U-Haul to Phoenix in 1967,” stated Joe Shoen, Chairman of U-Haul Holding Company. “While our operation was smaller then, our team had a long-term vision for the future. Today, we remain a family-owned and -operated company. This acquisition will help us build on our efficiency at the home office so that we can better support our field teams serving the mobility and storage needs of North America.” U-Haul services millions of customers annually at 23,000 locations across the U.S. and Canada, with rental sites in every state and province, and offers more than 1 million rentable self-storage units at 2,334 owned-and-operated stores.

PUB: 12/06/2024 02:45 PM/DISC: 12/06/2024 02:47 PM http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20241206494838/enWASHINGTON (AP) — Federal authorities on Tuesday urged telecommunication companies to boost network security following a sprawling Chinese hacking campaign that gave officials in Beijing access to private texts and phone conversations of an unknown number of Americans. The guidance issued by the FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency is intended to help root out the hackers and prevent similar cyberespionage in the future. Officials who briefed reporters on the recommendations said the U.S. still doesn’t know the true scope of China’s attack or the extent to which Chinese hackers still have access to U.S. networks. In one sign of the global reach of China’s hacking efforts, the government’s warning was issued jointly with security agencies in New Zealand, Australia and Canada, members of the Five Eyes intelligence alliance, which also includes the U.S. and Britain. Dubbed Salt Typhoon by analysts, the wide-ranging cyberespionage campaign emerged earlier this year after hackers sought to penetrate the networks of multiple telecommunications companies. The hackers used their access to telecom networks to target the metadata of a large number of customers, including information on the dates, times and recipients of calls and texts. RELATED COVERAGE California man charged with shipping weapons to North Korea China bans exports to US of gallium, germanium, antimony in response to chip sanctions US expands list of Chinese technology companies under export controls The hackers succeeded in retrieving the actual audio files of calls and content from texts from a much smaller number of victims. The FBI has contacted victims in this group, many of whom work in government or politics, but officials said it is up to telecom companies to notify customers included in the first, larger group. Despite months of investigation, the true scale of China’s operation, including the total number of victims or whether the hackers still have some access to information, is currently unknown. The FBI has said some of the information targeted by the hackers relates to U.S. law enforcement investigations and court orders, suggesting the hackers may have been trying to access programs subject to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA. The law grants American spy agencies sweeping powers to surveil the communications of people suspected of being agents of a foreign power. But on Tuesday, officials said they think the hackers were more broadly motivated, hoping to burrow deeply into the nation’s telecommunications systems to gain wide access to Americans’ information. The suggestions for telecom companies released Tuesday are largely technical in nature, urging encryption, centralization and consistent monitoring to deter cyber intrusions. If implemented, the security precautions could help disrupt the Salt Typhoon operation and make it harder for China or any other nation to mount a similar attack in the future, said Jeff Greene, CISA’s executive assistant director for cybersecurity and one of the officials who briefed reporters Tuesday. “We don’t have any illusion that once we kick off these actors they’re not going to come back,” Greene said. Several recent high-profile hacking incidents have been linked to China and what officials say is Beijing’s effort to steal technical and government secrets while also gaining access to critical infrastructure such as the electrical grid. In September, the FBI announced that it had disrupted a vast Chinese hacking operation that involved the installation of malicious software on more than 200,000 consumer devices, including cameras, video recorders and home and office routers. The devices were then used to create a massive network of infected computers, or botnet, that could then be used to carry out other cyber crimes. In October, officials said hackers linked to China targeted the phones of then-presidential candidate Donald Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance, along with people associated with Democratic candidate Vice President Kamala Harris. China has rejected accusations from U.S. officials that it engages in cyberespionage directed against Americans. A message left with China’s embassy in Washington was not immediately returned Tuesday.
