US authorities announced they have seized seven internet domains as part of a new effort to disrupt the activities of a hacker group linked to the Chinese IT company Integrity Technology Group. In a statement on the 8th, the US Department of Justice said the domains had been used to support hacking of US critical infrastructure systems and other targets by the Chinese hacker group, calling it the second public effort to dismantle the company's hacking infrastructure. The department had announced in September 2024 that, with court authorization, it had dismantled the company's botnet, which was made up of more than 250,000 hijacked consumer devices in the United States and around the world. China's Foreign Ministry said on the 9th that it firmly opposes hacking activities and the spread of malicious disinformation, and spokesperson Mao Ning told a regular press briefing that China wants to jointly address such internet risks and build a relationship of mutual respect with the United States on this issue.
Beijing Integrity Technology Co. Ltd. AUS DOJ seized seven domains tied to Integrity Technology Group's hacking infrastructure, escalating legal/regulatory action against the firm.
