Chinese Hackers Strike Again: Ninth U.S. Telecom Falls Victim to Espionage Escapade
Salt Typhoon strikes again! A ninth U.S. telecom firm has fallen victim to this Chinese espionage campaign, giving Beijing access to private texts and calls. The White House scrambles for action while the FBI remains tight-lipped on victim identities. Stay tuned as Salt Typhoon continues to blow through cybersecurity defenses!
Hot Take:
Looks like the Chinese hackers have been eavesdropping on American conversations more than your nosy neighbor with a glass pressed to the wall! Not content with just one telecom firm, they’ve gone through nine, making Salt Typhoon sound less like a hacking campaign and more like a spicy new HBO drama. I guess the Chinese government wants to know if we really do say “y’all” in private texts!
