Denmark Warns of Increased Cyber Espionage Against Telecom Sector

Denmark's Center for Cyber Security elevated the cyber espionage threat against the telecommunications sector to "High," warning that nation-state actors—particularly China (e.g., APT group Salt Typhoon), and also Russia and Iran—are actively targeting telecom providers across Europe and beyond to collect communications data, monitor diaspora/dissidents, and establish access that could be used for future destructive attacks; the report cites recent compromises of major US telcos and emphasizes the strategic impact and attractiveness of telecom infrastructure to state-sponsored espionage.
