Lack of Coordination Exposes Critical Networks to Chinese Hacking Group Salt Typhoon

A lack of coordination and communication between federal agencies and the telecommunications industry has left critical networks exposed to the Chinese hacking group Salt Typhoon. Seven sources revealed to CyberScoop that this gap allowed the group to target essential infrastructure. The agencies involved include the CTIIC, the Cyber Safety Review Board, CISA, the FBI, and the House Homeland Security Committee. Entities such as NightDragon and the NSTAC were also mentioned in the context of this issue. The specific impacts of this exposure are not detailed in the article.
