From PC Mag: AT&T and Verizon are no longer seeing activity from "Salt Typhoon" hackers on their networks.
The Chinese hacking group has hit at least nine US telecom companies as part of a months-long effort to spy on the communications of top politicians.
Earlier this month, Deputy National Security Adviser Anne Neuberger said none of the affected firms had "fully removed the Chinese actors from [their] networks." That came a few weeks after Senate Intelligence Chairman Mark Warner called the incident the "worst telecom hack in our nation's history—by far," and said booting the Chinese hackers would require physically replacing thousands of outdated routers and switches inside US telecommunication networks.
As of Monday, Verizon and AT&T both say they are no longer dectecting any Salt Typhoon activity on their networks and say the threat is contained for now.
