"'Volt Typhoon' China-Backed APT Infiltrates US Critical Infrastructure Orgs"

An investigation conducted by Microsoft reveals that China-backed threat actors have established persistent access to telecommunications networks and other critical infrastructure targets in the US for espionage and, potentially, to disrupt communications in the event of military conflict in the South China Sea and broader Pacific. Microsoft calls the Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) "Volt Typhoon." Researchers from Microsoft, Mandiant, and other organizations have previously observed this state-sponsored group conducting cyber espionage. According to the analysis, Microsoft has moderate confidence that the Volt Typhoon campaign is pursuing the development of capabilities that could disrupt critical communications infrastructure between the US and Asia during future crises. This article continues to discuss findings regarding the Volt Typhoon China-backed APT.
