Telecom Giant Viasat Is Latest Salt Typhoon Victim

Viasat confirmed an intrusion attributed to the China-linked APT "Salt Typhoon" as part of a broader campaign targeting multiple telecom providers; an investigation found no evidence of customer impact and the company says the incident was remediated. U.S. agencies (CISA/NSA/FBI) issued guidance to the sector after the group exploited a Cisco vulnerability to maintain prolonged access to telecom environments, with concerns the attackers sought telephone audio intercepts and call records.
