Chinese Cyber Threats Escalate with GHOSTSPIDER Malware Targeting Telecoms

T-Mobile engineers detected suspicious activity on their network devices, leading to the discovery of a breach linked to the alleged Chinese state-sponsored hacking group Salt Typhoon. The hackers were running commands on routers, probing the network's structure, but were removed before accessing customer data. This breach is part of a larger cyber-espionage campaign affecting multiple telecommunications companies, including AT&T and Verizon. T-Mobile managed to contain the intrusion, which originated from a non-wireless provider's network.
