80% Informative
Chinese hacker group known as Salt Typhoon breached five telecoms and internet service providers around the world, as well as more than a dozen universities from Utah to Vietnam .
Researchers at cybersecurity firm Recorded Future on Wednesday night revealed in a report that they've seen Salt Typhoon breach five US telecoms, including one US internet service provider and telecom firm and another US -based subsidiary of a UK telecom.
The hackers exploited two different vulnerabilities in those devices' code, one of which grants initial access and another that provides root privileges.
Recorded Future says it's seen Chinese hackers break into US internet service provider and telecommunications firm.
It's also seen the group target a broader range of universities around the world for apparent espionage.
The company says it was able to gain visibility into those intrusions by identifying command-and-control infrastructure used by Salt Typhoon .
