(Reuters) - A China state-sponsored hacking group had breached Singapore Telecommunications (SingTel) in June as a part of a global campaign targeting telecom companies and critical infrastructure operators, Bloomberg News reported on Tuesday.

Singapore Telecommunications Ltd., Singapore’s largest mobile carrier, was breached by Chinese state-sponsored hackers this summer as part of a broader campaign against telecommunications companies and other critical infrastructure operators around the world,

More recently, another Chinese-government-backed group Salt Typhoon was accused of breaking into US telecom companies' infrastructure. These intrusions came to light in October with the spies reportedly breaching Verizon, AT&T, and Lumen Technologies, although all three have thus far declined to comment to The Register about the hacks.

"Like any other large organisation and key infrastructure service provider around the world, we are constantly probed," Singtel said.
