  • The breach is suspected to be a test run for future cyberattacks on U.S. telecommunications firms.
  • Singtel detected and eradicated the malware, reporting the incident to relevant authorities.
  • U.S. officials have accused Volt Typhoon of infiltrating critical infrastructure sectors, including telecoms and energy.
  • China denies the existence of Volt Typhoon and claims the group is a fabrication by international entities.
