CISA, the NSA, the FBI, and several other agencies in the U.S. and worldwide warned critical infrastructure leaders to protect their systems against the Chinese Volt Typhoon hacking group.
Together with the NSA, the FBI, other U.S. government agencies, and partner Five Eyes cybersecurity agencies, including cybersecurity agencies from Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand, it also issued defense tips on detecting and defending against Volt Typhoon attacks.
Last month, they also warned that Chinese hackers had breached multiple U.S. critical infrastructure organizations and maintained access to at least one of them for at least five years before being discovered.
U.S. authorities are concerned that this Chinese group may exploit such access to further disrupt critical infrastructure and cause disruptions during military conflicts or geopolitical tensions.
Today, CISA and partner U.S. government agencies advised critical infrastructure leaders to empower their cybersecurity teams to make informed resourcing decisions, secure their supply chain, and ensure that performance management outcomes align with their organization's cyber goals.
