FBI Disrupts Chinese State-Backed Volt Typhoon’s KV Botnet

The report describes a US-authorities-led disruption of the KV Botnet operated by Volt Typhoon (a PRC-affiliated state-backed APT) that had compromised hundreds of end-of-life Cisco and NetGear SOHO routers to mask intrusions against a wide range of U.S. critical infrastructure sectors; the operation removed the malware from infected routers, severed their connection to the botnet, and urged owners to replace unsupported devices while investigations continue.
