FBI takes down China-linked hacking network behind attacks on NASA, DOJ and U.S. Senate

The U.S. Department of Justice and FBI seized domains tied to QScan and QTRouter, two malware tools developed and operated by QTFY (linked to Chinese state customers), which infected IoT devices and combined them with proxies and rented servers to obfuscate attacks against multiple U.S. government agencies; the seizures rendered the malware inoperable and were accompanied by published advisories and IoCs.
