US disrupts Chinese-linked hacking network, seizes 7 domains
The operation marks the second public US disruption of Integrity Tech-linked hacking infrastructure in two years.
The US Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation have seized seven internet domains allegedly controlled by Chinese state-linked hackers, according to a report by The Epoch Times. These domains were used to target critical infrastructure and computer networks in the US and abroad. The hacking tools, operated by a Beijing-based cybersecurity company called Integrity Technology Group, were designed to identify security vulnerabilities, gain unauthorized access, and steal information.
US and allied agencies warned that the hackers combined automated scanning, compromised networks, and targeted intrusions to steal sensitive information from organizations worldwide, including US critical infrastructure operators. The operation, conducted on October 8, involved redirecting the domains to FBI-controlled servers. This is the second public disruption of Integrity Tech-linked hacking infrastructure in two years, with the previous operation in September 2024 involving over 200,000 infected devices.
