"China's Volt Typhoon APT Burrows Deeper Into US Critical Infrastructure"
The US military has been dealing with two significant cyber threats, one being the Chinese campaign called Volt Typhoon against military bases, and the other being an insider breach impacting Air Force and FBI communications. The Biden administration has confirmed that Volt Typhoon's malware is far more widespread than previously believed. Responders have discovered it within many networks that control the communications, power, and water supplying US military bases. These networks also affect ordinary businesses and individuals. It is difficult for investigators to determine the complete scale of the infestation. The Chinese state-aligned Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) behind Volt Typhoon, also known as Vanguard Panda, came to light after Microsoft uncovered Chinese cyber activity in Guam, the location of a US military base strategically critical to Taiwan's defense against Chinese aggression. This article continues to discuss China's Volt Typhoon APT as well as the insider breach affecting Air Force and FBI communications.
