Canada Says Network Devices Compromised in China-Linked Hack - Bloomberg

In a joint advisory issued Friday, Canada’s cybersecurity agency and the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation confirmed that Salt Typhoon—a state-sponsored cyber group linked to the Chinese government—is “almost certainly” behind a recent campaign targeting Canadian telecommunications infrastructure. The Canadian Centre for Cyber Security disclosed that at least three network devices registered to a domestic telecom firm were compromised, with further investigation indicating that the threat may extend beyond the telecom sector. The advisory warns that such infiltration attempts are expected to continue over the next two years, underscoring the strategic interest of Chinese-backed threat actors in Canadian networks. Organizations are urged to adopt enhanced defence measures as attribution confidence and campaign scope increase.
