The US Gov't confirmed China compromised US-Infrastructure via cyber attacks to include *TRANSPORTATION* CISA and its U.S. Government partners have confirmed that this group of PRC state-sponsored cyber actors has compromised entities across multiple critical infrastructure sectors in cyberspace, including communications, energy, *TRANSPORTATION*, and water and wastewater, in the United States and its territories.
Advisory provides details on the PRC's efforts to conceal its hacking activity, discovery and mitigation guidance to potential victims, and encourage reporting of any suspected incident WASHINGTON - The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, National Security Agency, and Federal Bureau of Investigation, along with key U.S. and international government agencies published a Joint Cybersecurity Advisory today on malicious activity by a People's Republic of China state-sponsored cyber actor, known as Volt Typhoon, to compromise critical infrastructure and associated actions that should be urgently undertaken by all organizations.
CISA and its U.S. Government partners have confirmed that this group of PRC state-sponsored cyber actors has compromised entities across multiple critical infrastructure sectors in cyberspace, including communications, energy, transportation, and water and wastewater, in the United States and its territories.
In addition to the joint Cybersecurity Advisory, CISA and our partners also released complementary Joint Guidance to help all organizations effectively hunt for and detect the sophisticated types of techniques used by actors such as Volt Typhoon, known as "Living off the land." In recent years, the U.S. has seen a strategic shift in PRC cyber threat activity from a focus on espionage to pre-positioning for possible disruptive cyber-attacks against U.S. critical infrastructure.
By using "Living off the land" techniques, PRC cyber actors blend in with normal system and network activities, avoid identification by network defenses, and limit the amount of activity that is captured in common logging configurations.
"The PRC cyber threat is not theoretical: leveraging information from our government and industry partners, CISA teams have found and eradicated Volt Typhoon intrusions into critical infrastructure across multiple sectors. And what we've found to date is likely the tip of the iceberg," said CISA Director Jen Easterly.
