The FBI has disrupted a significant Chinese hacking group known as 'Flax Typhoon,' which is linked to the Integrity Technology Group, a company masquerading as an IT firm while conducting espionage for Chinese government agencies. FBI Director Christopher Wray announced that this operation, part of a broader campaign against Chinese cyber threats, involved seizing thousands of compromised devices, with many located in the U.S. Flax Typhoon had reportedly hijacked Internet-of-Things devices to create a botnet that targeted corporations, media organizations, and government entities globally. This takedown follows increasing concerns over another group, 'Volt Typhoon,' which has been associated with targeting critical U.S. infrastructure. China's embassy in Washington has dismissed the allegations as unwarranted conclusions by U.S. authorities. The operation underscores ongoing tensions regarding cybersecurity and international relations between the U.S. and China.
