US, its Western allies and Microsoft allege a state-sponsored China cyber actor, Volt Typhoon, has infiltrated critical US infrastructure networks, warning similar activities could be occurring globally
Dubbed "Volt Typhoon", the group has been spying on a wide range of US critical infrastructure organisations, from telecommunications to transportation hubs, Washington, its allies and Microsoft allege.Microsoft says the intrusion campaign placed a “strong emphasis on stealth” and sought to blend into normal network activity by hacking small-office network equipment, including routers.
"Microsoft assesses with moderate confidence that this Volt Typhoon campaign is pursuing the development of capabilities that could disrupt critical communications infrastructure between the United States and Asia region during future crises," the statement said. It said the intruders gained initial access through internet-facing Fortiguard devices, which are engineered to use machine-learning to detect malware.
