AT&T, Verizon Secure Networks After China-Linked Salt Typhoon Hack Targeting Officials
Dec 30, 2024, 02:00 AM
AT&T and Verizon have confirmed they were targeted by the China-linked Salt Typhoon cyberespionage group. The attacks, which aimed to gather intelligence on individuals of foreign interest, including high-profile government officials, have been contained, and both companies report their networks are now secure. AT&T stated that only a few cases of compromised information were identified, while Verizon emphasized that no sensitive data was breached. An independent cybersecurity firm has verified Verizon's containment efforts. Both companies are cooperating with law enforcement and government agencies to assess and mitigate the threat. The U.S. government has warned about the broader implications of the Salt Typhoon campaign, which has targeted nine U.S. telecom companies, granting hackers access to sensitive data and the ability to intercept communications.
