The US Department of Justice announced on the 26th (local time) that it had neutralized attempts by Chinese hackers to target key agencies.

The Department of Justice seized the domains used by the hacking platforms named 'QScan' and 'QTRouter' during the infiltration process. These platforms were used to infect Internet of Things (IoT) devices and disguise the source of malicious communications. The platforms were operated by the Chinese company 'Nanjing Xinzhongwei Network Technology Co., Ltd.,' and it was reported that the company's clients included the Chinese Ministry of State Security and the People's Liberation Army.

In August 2019, they attempted to access the NASA network by targeting a vulnerability in a virtual private network (VPN), but failed. In September 2024,
