State-backed Chinese hackers have been targeting U.S. critical infrastructure and could be laying the technical groundwork for a potential disruption of critical communications between the U.S. and Asia during future crises, Microsoft said
Associated PressBOSTON — .Hostile activity in cyberspace — from espionage to the advanced positioning of malware for potential future attacks — has become a hallmark of modern geopolitical rivalry.
Separately, the National Security Agency, the FBI, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and their counterparts from Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Britain published a joint advisory sharing technical details on “the recently discovered cluster of activity.” “We don’t see a lot of this sort of probing from China. It’s rare,” Hultquist said. “We know a lot about Russian and North Korean and Iranian cyber-capabilities because they have regularly done this.” China has generally withheld use of the kinds of tools that could be used to seed, not just intelligence-gathering capabilities, but also malware for disruptive attacks in an armed conflict, he added.
The maker of Fortiguard devuces, Fortinet, did not immediately respond to an email seeking further details.
