Some of the most sensitive institutions in the U.S. government, including the Federal Reserve, NASA, the Department of Justice and the U.S. Senate, were victims of computer intrusions linked to a Chinese state-sponsored hacking operation, federal authorities revealed.
The Justice Department and FBI announced that they had seized three internet domains used to operate two hacking platforms, QScan and QTRouter, which authorities say were deployed against U.S. critical infrastructure and sensitive government networks. The domains were identified in court documents as qtproxy.xyz, qt-proxy.org and qt-team.com.
