| [Just The News] Federal law enforcement has seized core infrastructure reportedly used by a Chinese state-sponsored cyber platform to target high-profile U.S. government entities and critical infrastructure in a campaign dating back to 2018. Authorities said the hacking targets varied from NASA to the Federal Reserve. The U.S. Department of Justice and the FBI announced the court-authorized domain seizures targeting QScan and QTRouter, two cyber platforms that investigators said have ties to a Chinese group known as QTFY. Officials announcing the seizures included U.S. Attorney Adam Gordon for the Southern District of California, as well as Special Agent in Charge Mark Remily of the FBI San Diego Field Office. Authorities said QTFY worked through Nanjing Xinjiuwei Network Technology Co. to provide hacking services to Chinese intelligence and military arms. Among QTFY's targets were NASA, the Federal Reserve, and the U.S. departments of Energy, Justice, and Health and Human Services, as well as the U.S. Senate. According to court filings, the platforms infected thousands of devices worldwide to construct an obfuscation network that masked attack origins. Federal agents reportedly neutralized both tools by seizing hard-coded domains essential for the malware's communication. |
