The United States said Wednesday it had disrupted a Chinese hacking campaign that allegedly breached sensitive government institutions, including the Justice Department, NASA, the Federal Reserve and the US Senate. According to the US Justice Department, China state-sponsored hackers allegedly used two platforms, QScan and QTRouter, to target US networks. American authorities said the platforms facilitated attacks against government agencies and other sensitive organisations. The Justice Department has seized domains linked to both platforms as part of efforts to disrupt the campaign. The operation comes amid broader US efforts to counter cyber threats that Washington attributes to China, highlighting continuing concerns over state-sponsored hacking targeting critical government and institutional networks.
