On August 27, 2026, the U.S. Justice Department revealed that Chinese hackers infiltrated key government institutions, leading to the seizure of hacking platforms associated with this activity.
Federal authorities seized domains linked to two hacking platforms, QScan and QTRouter, run by a state-sponsored group named QTFY.
QTFY, connected to a Chinese company, allegedly provided hacking tools to clients such as China’s Ministry of State Security and the People’s Liberation Army.
Targeted institutions included the Justice Department, NASA, the Federal Reserve, and the U.S. Senate, among others.
Attorney General Todd Blanche emphasized the commitment to stopping state-sponsored hackers attacking critical infrastructure.
The operation signifies a proactive approach by the U.S. to disrupt foreign cyberattacks rather than merely defending against them.
Federal officials continue to strive to dismantle the infrastructure facilitating cyberattacks from foreign adversaries, particularly those linked to the Chinese government.
