FBI Disrupts Major Chinese Hacking Group In a major blow to international cyber espionage, the FBI announced on Wednesday that it had successfully disrupted a Chinese hacker group known as "Flax Typhoon." The group, which targeted critical infrastructure across the United States, managed to infect hundreds of thousands of devices globally, according to authorities. Flax Typhoon deployed malicious software on a variety of internet-connected devices, including cameras, routers, and video recorders. This created a vast botnet — a network of compromised computers — which impacted sectors such as universities, government agencies, telecommunications, media organizations, and NGOs. FBI Director Chris Wray emphasized the damage caused, stating, "Flax Typhoon's actions caused real harm to its victims, who had to devote precious time to clean up the mess when they discovered the malware." The FBI identified a Chinese company, the Integrity Technology Group, as the entity behind Flax Typhoon. The company allegedly acted as an IT firm while also conducting intelligence-gathering and reconnaissance for the Chinese government. Australia, the UK, and Canada released a joint advisory accusing the same company of compromising over 250,000 devices worldwide. Director Wray warned this was only a temporary victory, noting, "The Chinese government is going to continue to target your organizations and our critical infrastructure." In response, the Chinese embassy in Washington denied the accusations, insisting that China cracks down on all forms of cyberattacks, and accused US authorities of making "groundless accusations." This latest disruption highlights the ongoing, high-stakes cyber conflict between global powers. www.ntpas.net #cybersecuritynews

Please read my latest publication on security-insider.de about the Cyber Gap between cyber-resilient companies and those who are not. A joint study of World Economic Forum and Accenture shows that many companies still do not meet a minimum required standard of cyber resiliency and that the gap is growing fuelled by technical innovations like GenAI, or the continuing challenge to get required security professionals. #AccentureSecurity #Cybersecurity #CyberResilience #Security
