Volt Typhoon: China Unleashes Malicious Code on U.S. Military Infrastructure

A People’s Republic of China (PRC) cyberespionage group Microsoft and the U.S. government called Volt Typhoon allegedly “breached the U.S. Navy infrastructure,” according to the Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro, as reported by Industrial Cyber. The NSA, CISA, and Microsoft announced the malicious breach of “critical communications, maritime and transportation infrastructure” in the U.S. and Guam on May 24, 2023. Both Microsoft and officials from the U.S. government seem to believe the incursions are “state-sponsored” attacks using, in some cases, home networks to breach security systems. China has denied state-sponsored hacking of U.S. infrastructure.
