Canadian Telecom Hacked by Suspected China State Group

  • In mid-February 2025, the Canadian Centre for Cybersecurity confirmed that the Salt Typhoon hacking group compromised three network devices of a Canadian telecommunications provider.
  • This breach occurred after hackers exploited the critical Cisco flaw CVE-2023-20198, which had a patch available since October 2023, and the actors modified router configurations to enable stealthy traffic collection.
  • Salt Typhoon, linked to the Chinese government, has targeted multiple US and Canadian telecom firms in a broad espionage campaign aiming to collect intelligence on government communications and related data.
  • The Cyber Centre cautioned that Canadian organizations can expect ongoing cyberattacks throughout the next two years and advised critical infrastructure sectors to enhance their cybersecurity measures.
  • The ongoing campaign suggests persistent risk to telecommunications and other sectors in Canada, highlighting significant vulnerabilities despite prior patch availability and earlier reconnaissance activities detected in late 2024.
