The complex cyberattack, carried out by a group of Chinese hackers dubbed Salt Typhoon, began as far back as 2022, compromising critical telecommunications devices.
Sen. Mark Warner termed the attack the 'worst telecom hack in our nation's history,' illustrating its catastrophic impact compared to prior threats from foreign actors.
Salt Typhoon has demonstrated persistent access to U.S. telecom networks, significantly alarming officials due to its broad scale and implications for national security.
Despite the severity of the breach, many organizations do not adhere to effective cybersecurity practices, leaving them vulnerable to sophisticated attacks like Salt Typhoon.
