We started hearing about salt typhoon activity a couple years ago, back in 2024, when Microsoft identified this sort of ring of nefarious activity and was able to trace it back to China.
It's worth noting that China has repeatedly denied involvement, but the U.S.
still believes that they were able to gain access in an unprecedented way to U.S.
telecom networks.
do know that AT&T, T-Mobile, and Lumen, as well as Verizon, had some signs of activity.
AT&T, Verizon, and Lumen all definitely had their networks compromised on some level.
T-Mobile told me in an interview that they saw some signs of activity sort of in the lobby of their network, and they were able to boot that traffic out before it was able to capture anything that would have been of interest.
It is worth noting that the level of access that the Salt Typhoon bad actors gained was very high profile.
There were a couple hundred high profile targets in the D.C.
area, including Kamala Harris staffers, President Donald Trump's phone, as well as Vice President J.D.
Vance's phone.
So this was a pretty rich target environment.
And it all ties back to these telecom networks.
Wow.
So this is a new piece of the puzzle that just came out of the China Select Committee in the House.
We have been talking for a couple of years about how the carriers are working to boot bad actors from their networks.
The U.S.
government has cracked down on the amount of
Chinese network equipment and even the business activities of Chinese telecom companies in the US to cut down on these risks.
But data centers have kind of been this hidden threat that the committee is calling into light.
