US announces effort to disrupt hacking infrastructure run by China’s Integrity Tech Group
US authorities have announced plans to disable seven internet domains in an ongoing campaign to thwart hackers linked to Chinese IT company Integrity Technology Group. The Justice Department revealed Thursday that these domains were utilized by Chinese hackers to probe and breach critical infrastructure systems in the United States and globally.
This marks the second public effort by US officials to disrupt Integrity Tech's hacking network. In September 2024, the department disclosed the seizure of a botnet comprising over 250,000 compromised devices worldwide, operated by Integrity Tech. At that time, FBI Director Christopher Wray identified Integrity Tech as a key player in the Chinese cyber espionage group, codenamed Flax Typhoon, responsible for intelligence gathering and reconnaissance under Beijing's direction.
The Chinese Embassy in Washington had not responded to a request for comment by press time on Thursday, a common response from Beijing which routinely denies involvement in cyber operations.
