The FBI, with the NSA and the Cyber National Mission Force, dismantled a botnet operated by Beijing-backed hackers that infected about 260,000 devices (routers, cameras, DVRs, NAS) since mid-2021 and was used to infiltrate sensitive networks in universities, government agencies, telecoms, and media; the DOJ obtained a court order to take control of the botnet and issue disabling commands, and the attackers' attempted counterattack against FBI infrastructure was unsuccessful.
