US telco Lumen says its network is now clear of China’s Salt Typhoon hackers


Lumen says there is 'no evidence' that customer data was accessed during the intrusion

Lumen, one of at least nine U.S. telecommunications firms reportedly compromised by Salt Typhoon hackers, says the Chinese hacking group is no longer in its network. Lumen spokesperson Mark Molzen told TechCrunch that an independent forensic analysis confirmed the company ejected the Chinese actors from its network, adding that there is “no evidence that customer data was accessed” during the Salt Typhoon breach. T-Mobile, another Salt Typhoon target, said last month that it had no evidence of hackers still in its systems.
