Months of hunting failed. T-Mobile pulled the plug on Salt Typhoon. It took a car journey to get there.
After months of failing to evict Chinese state-backed hackers through software, T-Mobile's security chief drove to the data centre, cleared identity checks, found the cabinet and physically pulled the power supply from the compromised hardware. The disconnection was right. The delivery was measured in hours. Peers including AT&T and Verizon, responding through software alone, suffered wide-scale compromise.
At Firevault, we have developed a control blueprint that is designed to physically sever power, taking physical control of the network in under six milliseconds. This is why we talk about network evolution and rapid protection. No car journey, no ID desk, no cabinet search.
