The FBI disrupted a global Chinese hacking operation that infected more than 260,000 personal devices in the United States and around the world, the U.S. Justice Department said.
The hacking operation was carried out by a Chinese-backed group working for the Beijing-based Integrity Technology Group, known as "Flax Typhoon," which infected devices like routers, cameras and storage devices with a variant of malware that connected them to a network of connected devices, or botnet.
