"US Agencies Take Down Chinese Hacking Network Threatening Critical Infrastructure"

The US government has launched an operation to combat a widespread Chinese hacking campaign known as Volt Typhoon, which has targeted thousands of internet-connected devices and poses a threat to critical infrastructure including naval ports, internet service providers, and utilities. The Justice Department and FBI have been authorized to remotely disable aspects of the hacking campaign, and the Biden administration is increasingly focused on addressing hacking threats. Concerns have been raised about the potential for these hacks to disrupt facilities supporting US military operations in the Indo-Pacific region, particularly in the event of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan.
