Previously, eight companies were known to have been affected. In response to the ongoing threat, the White House has issued a threat-hunting and hardening guide to telecoms aimed at mitigating the risks posed by these cyberattacks. Officials noted that the Salt Typhoon incidents largely resulted from the failure of telecom companies to implement basic cybersecurity measures. The number of individuals directly impacted by these breaches is reported to be less than 100.
