Chinese Cyber-Espionage Targets US Telecoms in Unprecedented Hack

Chinese state-sponsored hackers, known as "Salt Typhoon," breached T-Mobile's routers to explore its network, but were blocked before accessing customer data. T-Mobile's proactive cyber defenses, including network segmentation, prevented further spread. The breach is part of a broader series of telecom attacks by the group, which has targeted multiple providers and government entities. T-Mobile has shared its findings with government and industry partners, and no sensitive customer information was compromised.
