Unpatched Cisco Devices Still Getting Popped by Salt Typhoon

A Chinese cyber espionage group, Salt Typhoon, continues to target unpatched Cisco devices, particularly in telecommunications and universities, to establish remote control and potentially steal sensitive information. The group, known for its involvement in mass hacking of telecommunications networks, exploits vulnerabilities to create virtual tunneling and gain privileged access to devices. Organizations are advised to review logs, patch devices, and monitor for unexpected network traffic to mitigate potential compromise.
