  "summary": "The United States has announced the disruption of cyber intrusions by Chinese state-sponsored hackers, targeting key agencies such as NASA, the Federal Reserve, and the Senate. The Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) disclosed the seizure of internet domains used in the attacks, which were operated by a Chinese state-sponsored group called QTFY, affiliated with Nanjing Xinjiuwei Network Technology Co. According to the U.S. government, various U.S. agencies, including the National Institutes of Health, the Department of Energy, and the Department of Health and Human Services, were among the victims. The hacking group, established in 2018, has ties to China's Ministry of State Security. The U.S. announcement precedes President Donald Trump's planned meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, where artificial intelligence and advanced technologies are expected to be discussed.",
