A Chinese spy group called “Salt Typhoon” was recently found, by our government, to have hacked into the nation’s telecommunications system from almost all corners and ends. A rumor going around is that they have already hacked into T-Mobile and have hacked into other big tech names, which haven’t been disclosed yet. If you remember, T-Mobiles data was stolen early this year in a apparent hack. They didn’t just hack into emails, they hacked into regular people’s phone calls, video calls, and text messages. The worst is they also hacked into the U.S. Governments telecommunications system.
The U.S. is known to be a hub for people trying to hack into its systems, but Salt Typhoon was able to penetrate deeper than any other hack group. If you recall, a year ago a bunch of Chinese spy balloons was flying across the country with the Biden-Harris administration playing it off that it wasn’t a spy balloon, which it later was found to be true.
