Chinese state-sponsored hacking group, Volt Typhoon, infiltrates U.S. critical infrastructure for over five years.

The U.S. government on Wednesday said the Chinese state-sponsored hacking group known as Volt Typhoon had been embedded into some critical infrastructure networks in the country for at least five years.

Targets of the threat actor include communications, energy, transportation, and water and wastewater systems sectors in the U.S. and Guam.

    Only half a decade? I expect every first order global power to be furiously trying to get leverage in every global critical system, friend or foe. Now and forever.

    Capabilities win wars.

    If you can’t do it with hackers, you literally get a human agent to work in the target organization. Or you find a asset and “apply leverage” to recruit them.
