Summary generated by Copilot, for everyone as lazy as me:

China-linked hackers, known as Salt Typhoon, infiltrated U.S. telecommunications infrastructure, exploiting systems used for wiretapping Americans in criminal cases. This breach, described as the worst telecom hack in U.S. history, allowed hackers to listen to phone calls and read text messages. The networks remain compromised, and drastic measures are needed to secure them. The hack targeted fewer than 150 people, mostly in Washington DC, but the actual number of affected individuals could be much higher. Encrypted communications via apps like Signal and iMessage were likely protected.
