China Ramps Up Targeting Of U.S. Critical Infrastructure

FBI and CISA have warned that some US telecommunication companies have been breached by China-backed Salt Typhoon to snoop on US secrets and maintain access.

Multiple US telecommunications companies were hacked into by a People's Republic of China (PRC)-backed threat actor to carry out a full-blown cyber-espionage attack, according to a joint FBI and CISA statement.

It's long past the time to seriously address these ongoing threats.

To defend against evolving state-sponsored threats, telecoms and other critical infrastructure operators should integrate advanced technologies with cybersecurity best practices.

Key measures include:

• Deploying AI-driven threat detection systems for real-time intrusion identification and maintaining a proactive security posture.
