US Disrupts China-Linked Hacking Platforms Targeting Agencies Arabian Post

(MENAFN- The Arabian Post) clearfix"> The United States has disrupted a China-linked cyber operation blamed for intrusions into some of the country's most sensitive government networks, including the Justice Department, NASA, the Federal Reserve and the US Senate.

Federal authorities on Wednesday seized internet domains supporting two hacking platforms, QScan and QTRouter, which investigators say were used to penetrate government agencies, critical infrastructure and corporate networks. The action effectively disabled key parts of the platforms by cutting them off from domains hard-coded into the malicious software for communications and authentication.

The operation was attributed to a state-sponsored hacking group known as QTFY. US authorities said the group was employed by Nanjing Xinjiuwei Network Technology Company, a China-based technology business accused of supplying cyber capabilities to clients that included the Ministry of State Security and the People's Liberation Army.
