Canadian media giant Rogers named as victim of Chinese telecom hackers - Nextgov/FCW
Salt Typhoon, a Chinese threat group, has reportedly targeted Rogers Communications, Canada’s largest wireless provider, as part of a global cyber-espionage campaign. Rogers denies the breach and states the claim was disproven by two independent cybersecurity firms. Canada’s Cyber Centre confirmed three network devices belonging to a Canadian telecom provider were compromised in February 2025 using a known 2023 Cisco router vulnerability but did not name Rogers. In 2023, Rogers provided data on 162,000 customers under lawful access requests. Salt Typhoon has previously targeted telecom firms in the U.S., U.K., South Africa, and Myanmar.
