U.S. Disrupts Chinese Hacking Operation Targeting Multiple Government Agencies
The U.S. Justice Department announced it disrupted a Chinese state-sponsored hacking operation targeting sensitive government agencies, including NASA, the Federal Reserve, the Department of Justice, and the U.S. Senate. Authorities seized domains linked to two hacking platforms, QScan and QTRouter, used in the cyber campaign. Beijing routinely denies involvement in such activities, and the Chinese Embassy has not commented on the recent disruption. The investigation and related developments are ongoing.
