A Chinese-sponsored cyber actor has infiltrated the United States' critical infrastructure networks, Washington, its Western allies and Microsoft said Wednesday (May 24th), warning that similar campaigns could take place around the world.
In a joint notice, cybersecurity authorities in the United States and other countries warned of "a cluster of activities" associated with "a state-sponsored cyber actor of the People's Republic of China, also known as the Volt Typhoon." In a separate statement, Microsoft warned that the campaign risks "disrupting critical communications infrastructure between the United States and the Asian region in future crises."
