"Chinese Hackers' 5-Year Infiltration of US Infrastructure Raises Alarming Threat"

The U.S. government has revealed that the Chinese state-sponsored hacking group Volt Typhoon has infiltrated critical infrastructure networks in the U.S. and Guam for at least five years, aiming to pre-position themselves for disruptive or destructive cyber attacks in the event of a major crisis or conflict. The group, also known as Bronze Silhouette, employs stealthy tactics and living-off-the-land techniques to operate discreetly and maintain long-term, undiscovered persistence. Additionally, a widespread influence campaign linked to a Beijing public relations firm has been uncovered, pushing pro-China content across a network of impersonating local news websites in Europe, Asia, and Latin America.
