FBI Shuts Down China-Linked Hacking Platforms Used to Target NASA and U.S. Networks
Matched: health
The DOJ and FBI seized domains tied to two China-linked hacking platforms, QScan and QTRouter, connected to PRC state-sponsored group QTFY, operating through Nanjing Xinjiuwei Network Technology. The platforms infected IoT devices and routed malicious traffic through proxy networks to conceal attack origins. Victims included NASA, the Federal Reserve, DOJ, and the U.S. Senate. Seized domains rendered both platforms inoperable.
FBI Seizes NetNut Proxy Platform, Popa Botnet
The FBI seized hundreds of domains tied to NetNut, a residential proxy service run by Israeli company Alarum Technologies. The action followed a KrebsOnSecurity report linking NetNut to the Popa botnet, a network of at least two million devices infected without owner consent. The seizure involved industry partners and came roughly two weeks after the security findings were published.
