FBI seizes domains used by Chinese state-backed hackers for proxy operations

The FBI seized three domains linked to a Chinese hacking group known as QTFY, which used the QScan and QTRouter platforms for reconnaissance and proxy routing in attacks on US critical infrastructure. The group, allegedly employed by Nanjing Xinjiuwei Network Technology Company, targeted agencies including NASA and the Federal Reserve. The domains now display a law enforcement banner, and the operation was supported by threat research from Lumen's Black Lotus Labs.
