GoKawiilDOJ Dismantles Chinese Proxy Network QTRouter/QScan Behind Attacks on US Agencies
The Justice Department seized domains tied to two tools, QTRouter and QScan, that a Chinese hacking group called QTFY used to route attacks through hijacked IoT devices and commercial proxy services. Prosecutors say the network, allegedly linked to Nanjing Xinjiuwei Network Technology Company and used by China's Ministry of State Security and PLA, enabled breaches at NASA, the Senate, the Federal Reserve, HHS, NIH, and the DOJ itself since at least 2018.
