US DOJ and FBI dismantle China-linked hacking infrastructure targeting federal and critical sectors

The US government has seized the QScan and QTRouter platforms operated by the PRC-linked group QTFY, which has targeted US federal agencies and critical infrastructure since 2018. While the seizure disrupts a long-standing espionage vector, the extent of data exfiltration remains under investigation. This action marks a significant escalation in US efforts to neutralize state-sponsored cyber-espionage networks.
