U.S. authorities have confirmed a successful operation to eliminate malware linked to the Chinese hacking group 'Twill Typhoon,' which had infiltrated millions of computers globally. The Department of Justice and FBI deleted the 'PlugX' malware from over 4,200 infected devices in the U.S. during a court-authorized action in August 2024. The operation, led by French authorities and cybersecurity firm Sekoai, targeted a malware that has been in use since 2012. The U.S. Justice Department accused the Chinese government of sponsoring this cyber espionage. Significant targets included government and private organizations worldwide.
