Salt Typhoon's cyberstorm reaches beyond US telcos
Briefly

"We found that in 2023, the attackers had also targeted consulting firms and NGOs that work with the US federal government and military." This emphasizes the gang's expanding focus beyond traditional targets.
"It's one of the most aggressive Chinese advanced persistent threat (APT) groups," said Trend Micro's researchers, highlighting their capability and reach within various sectors.
"Affected countries include Afghanistan, Brazil, Eswatini, India, and others, indicating the global scale of Salt Typhoon's operations and impact on international security."
"These intrusions not only compromised telcos' database and cloud servers, but also attacked the firms' suppliers, demonstrating a sophisticated and strategic approach by Salt Typhoon."
