US Sanctions Chinese Cyber Firm Over Flax Typhoon Hacking Allegations
The U.S. Treasury Department has sanctioned Integrity Technology Group, a Beijing-based cybersecurity firm, due to its alleged involvement with the Flax Typhoon hacking group. This action follows accusations of multiple computer intrusions targeting critical U.S. infrastructure. The firm reportedly operated a botnet of over 260,000 devices to facilitate these cyberattacks. The sanctions highlight ongoing concerns about Chinese cyber threats to national security, particularly in relation to attacks on U.S. universities and government agencies. Integrity Tech has not responded to these developments.
