Reuters reports:
Hackers working for an unnamed nation-state breached networks at Ribbon Communications, a key U.S. telecommunications services company, and remained within the firm’s systems for nearly a year without being detected, a company spokesperson confirmed in a statement on Wednesday.
Ribbon Communications, a Texas-based company that provides technology to facilitate voice and data communications between separate tech platforms and environments, said in its October 23 10-Q filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that the company learned early last month that people “reportedly associated with a nation-state actor” gained access to the company’s IT network, with initial access dating to early December 2024.
The hack has not been previously reported.
Ribbon did not identify the nation-state actor, or disclose which of its customers were affected by the breach, but told Reuters in the statement that its investigation has so far revealed three “smaller customers” impacted.
