DOJ seizures domains tied to China-backed hacking platforms targeting U.S. agencies

The DOJ seized online domains used by a Chinese state-sponsored hacking group operating the QScan and QTRouter platforms, which targeted U.S. federal agencies including the Federal Reserve, U.S. Senate, Department of Justice, NASA, Energy, HHS, and NIH, as well as hospitals, telecommunications providers, power companies, financial institutions, and defense contractors. Court filings say the group QTFY was employed by Nanjing Xinjiuwei Network Technology Company. No damage figures were disclosed, and Attorney General Todd Blanche pledged to stop such intrusions.
