Justice Battles Chinese Hackers
The U.S. Department of Justice, along with federal intelligence agencies, is working to thwart a Communist Chinese hacking group known as QTFY. Established in 2018, QTFY has engaged in efforts to compromise American federal and military websites.
U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche says agencies who have been targeted include the Federal Reserve, the Department of Justice, NASA and the U.S. Senate. Much of the disruption has involved two pieces of malware: QTRouter and QScan. To stop the intrusion, three websites have been seized: : qtproxy.xyz, qt-proxy.org, and qt-team.com.
Blanche says the battle isn’t over. He expects the Chinese to reload and make new attempts along the same lines. Here’s more from Doug in Exile.
