US Takes Down China-Linked Hacking Tools That Targeted NASA, Federal Reserve, and Senate

The FBI and Justice Department seized website addresses powering two China-linked hacking platforms, QScan and QTRoader, active since 2018. Targets included NASA, the Federal Reserve, the US Senate, and the DOJ itself. The platforms took over thousands of everyday internet-connected devices to hide where attacks came from. Operator Nanjing Xinjiuwei's clients included China's Ministry of State Security and PLA.
