7 | DOJ seizes QTFY domains used to target U.S. critical infrastructure
The DOJ and FBI seized domains used by Chinese hacking group QTFY.
• QTFY targeted U.S. critical infrastructure, federal agencies, hospitals, utilities, universities and defense contractors.
• Targets included NASA, the Federal Reserve, the Departments of Energy, Justice and Health and Human Services, NIH and the Senate.
• QScan scanned and automatically infected thousands of internet-connected IoT devices worldwide.
• QTRouter routed attacks through compromised IoT devices, commercial proxies and leased VPSs to conceal their origin.
• Three seized domains were hard-coded into QScan and QTRouter for communication and authentication, making the platforms inoperable.
