AT&T, Verizon blocking release of Salt Typhoon security assessment reports
Telecom giants are preventing the public from seeing critical cybersecurity threat information.
AT&T and Verizon are actively blocking the public release of security assessment reports on a Chinese state-sponsored hacking group known as Salt Typhoon. These reports detail the group's methods and targets. The companies' legal actions prevent cybersecurity researchers and the public from accessing this critical threat intelligence, which could help organizations defend against these sophisticated attacks. This secrecy raises questions about transparency and public safety in the face of foreign cyber espionage.
