Senator Mark Warner says booting ‘Salt Typhoon’ hackers could require physically replacing telecommunications equipment.
The Chinese state-sponsored hackers who breached AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile to spy on Donald Trump remain inside US networks, according to Senator Mark Warner.
In an interview with The , the Virginia Democrat and Senate Intelligence chairman provided more disturbing details about the cyber espionage effort, which was allegedly carried out by a Chinese hacking group known as Salt Typhoon.
Sen. Warner called the incident the “worst telecom hack in our nation’s history—by far.” But more startling, he says Salt Typhoon continues to spy on US networks despite the FBI’s involvement.
