The FBI has announced that the Salt Typhoon cyber threat, primarily affecting telecom networks, is largely contained. This cyber campaign, attributed to a state-sponsored group, has raised concerns regarding its potential impact on critical infrastructure and the continued need for vigilance in cybersecurity measures.

The FBI is seeking public assistance to identify the Chinese Salt Typhoon hackers, responsible for extensive breaches of telecommunications providers in the U.S. and globally. These breaches allowed access to sensitive data, including private communications of some U.S. government officials, prompting the FBI to issue a public service announcement and a reward for information linked to the group.
