Salt Typhoon is a hacking group which is reportedly sponsored by the Chinese government.
The group has been active since 2020 , and is believed to be active even now.
At least eight U.S. telecommunications companies have been infiltrated by Salt Typhoon's hackers.
The hackers accessed individuals' communications, reading texts and listening in to audio calls.
The Chinese government has denied any involvement in the cyberattacks.
The FCC has proposed clarifying laws which require telecommunications companies to secure their networks against hackers.
This would make clear that such security measures not only include equipment, but also how the telecommunications carriers manage their networks.
The Senate Commerce subcommittee will hold a hearing on the Salt Typhoon hack on Dec. 11 .
