Today we announced the disruption of a global botnet and hacking platform used by Chinese state-sponsored hackers to target U.S. critical infrastructure.
These tools were used by PRC cyber actors to hide the origin of their attacks.
Thanks to the work of
@FBISanDiego ,
@FBICyberDiv , and
@TheJusticeDept partners, we seized adversary infrastructure and shut these platforms down.
Today’s action is just the latest technical operation against PRC-sponsored hacking - and in support of President Trump’s Cyber Strategy for America, the FBI is surging efforts to shape adversary behavior and defend the homeland in cyberspace.
