China's State-Sponsored Hackers Target U.S. Infrastructure.
Chinese state-sponsored hackers, codenamed "Volt Typhoon," have successfully exploited a vulnerability in a popular cybersecurity suite, impacting critical cyber infrastructure across a range of industries, including the US Navy. The Navy has been contending with cyberattacks like this for years, according to Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro. The hackers targeted communications and maritime sectors in Guam, which is home to a key US military base. The Chinese Foreign Ministry and state-controlled press have dismissed the findings from Microsoft and the intelligence community as "disinformation."
