US Disrupts China-Linked Hacking Operation Targeting Key Federal Agencies

The US Justice Department and FBI have disrupted a Chinese state-sponsored hacking operation that targeted key federal agencies, including the Federal Reserve, NASA, the Senate, and multiple other departments. The operation involved two hacking platforms, QScan and QTRouter, which were used to breach government networks. The US seized the domains linked to these platforms, rendering them inoperable. The hacking group, QTFY, is believed to have sold its services directly to China's Ministry of State Security and the People's Liberation Army.
