Cyberside Chats: Wiretapped: How Hackers Infiltrated Global Telecom Networks

Nation-state hackers and cybercriminals are exploiting telecom networks—not your company’s network—to intercept calls, steal metadata, and track high-value targets. In this episode of Cyberside Chats, we expose how recent telecom breaches, including the high-profile Salt Typhoon hack, are putting businesses at risk—even if their own systems remain uncompromised.

What you'll learn:

• How hackers use telecom metadata to profile and target executives
• Why phone-based authentication is no longer secure—and what to do instead
• How to spot spoofed calls and phishing texts
• Best practices for encrypted communications
• What to demand from your telecom providers to protect your business
• How to build a telecom outage contingency plan

Don’t assume your data is safe just because your network is. If you rely on phones or SMS for sensitive business functions—this episode is a must-watch.
