T-Mobile, a major telecom service provider with contracts across various divisions of the US Department of Defense, including the Army, Air Force, and Navy, encountered attempts of hacking activity through its routing infrastructure. Although the company has not confirmed that the attack was the Salt Typhoon espionage campaign, it identified and mitigated the intrusion attempts. Despite this, vulnerabilities remain in the telecom infrastructure. Senators are urging the DOD to renegotiate contracts to strengthen cybersecurity defenses, pointing out the risks of surveillance and potential espionage.
