Telecom Security Breaches and Responses

AT&T and Verizon have announced that they have contained security breaches attributed to a hacking group nicknamed Salt Typhoon, believed to be backed by the People's Republic of China. These intrusions targeted a small number of high-profile individuals in government and politics, raising concerns about the security of cellular networks. Both companies are cooperating with authorities and notifying affected individuals, although they claim to detect no ongoing threats from nation-state actors. T-Mobile also reported suspicious activity but successfully thwarted any unauthorized access, emphasizing the heightened vulnerability in the telecom sector.
