Telecom giants AT&T and ??? ??Verizon have assured the public that their networks are secure following a string of cyberattacks attributed to a China-linked hacking group known as Salt Typhoon.
SEE ALSO: Was your phone targeted by China's Salt Typhoon hack? Your provider might not tell you."We have found no activity by nation-state actors in our networks at this time," in a statement provided Monday, an AT&T spokesperson told multiple outlets.
The Dallas-based company also noted that while Salt Typhoon’s operations are still being investigated, it has found "relatively few instances" where an individual’s information was compromised. AT&T is working closely with authorities and reaching out to affected individuals.
This is the first time AT&T and Verizon have publicly acknowledged being affected by Salt Typhoon. For most customers, there’s little reason to worry. Verizon told TechCrunch that the hacking group behind the breach had targeted "a small number of high-profile customers in government." Still, the full scope of the breach remains unclear.
On Friday, the White House confirmed that AT&T and Verizon were among nine companies breached by the hacker group, though U.S. officials have declined to name the ninth affected company. However, Anne Neuberger, the deputy national security advisor for cyber and emerging technologies, told reporters that the unnamed company had access to over 100,000 routers.
