The United States claims to have foiled a cyberattack orchestrated by China. According to the FBI, this attack aimed to infiltrate critical infrastructure that could serve as “pressure means” against China.

The U.S. authorities announced this Wednesday that they had neutralized a network of cyber pirates called Volt Typhoon, targeting, according to Washington, the country's civil infrastructure on behalf of China. Beijing strongly condemned these allegations on Thursday, calling them "baseless accusations and denigrated China without any evidence"
