Orange Cyberdefense swooped in to isolate a breached system faster than you can say “French baguette.” The cyberattack disrupted services primarily in France, but Orange remains vigilant. Thankfully, no evidence of data theft has surfaced yet. Meanwhile, Salt Typhoon looms ominously, like an unwanted sequel to an international hacking blockbuster.

  • The breach resembles attacks by the Chinese Salt Typhoon cyber-espionage group.
