https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/chinese-hackers-spent-5-years-us-networks-cyber/story?id=107059211Hackers from the People's Republic of China spent up to five years in U.S. networks as part of a cyber operation that targeted U.S. critical infrastructure, law enforcement and international agencies said earlier this week.
"The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), National Security Agency (NSA), and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) assess that People's Republic of China (PRC) state sponsored cyber actors are seeking to preposition themselves on IT networks for disruptive or destructive cyberattacks against U.S. critical infrastructure in the event of a major crisis or conflict with the United States," an alert released by the agencies earlier this week said.
The yearslong operation by the state-sponsored cyber actor -- called Volt Typhoon by U.S. authorities -- was a way for China to position themselves for an attack on U.S. critical infrastructure using malware, officials said on a call with reporters.
CISA Assistant Director Eric Goldstein said the hackers were in U.S. systems for "up to five years."
