A Chinese cyber espionage group, known as Volt Typhoon, has been linked to attacks on U.S. and Indian internet firms. The group has exploited a zero-day vulnerability in Versa Director, a software widely used by internet and IT service providers. This attack could potentially disrupt communication between the U.S. and Asia.
The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) has indicted four Iranian nationals for allegedly participating in a multi-year cyber campaign that targeted various entities in the US, including the State and Treasury departments, defense contractors, and private companies in New York. The campaign involved computer intrusions, fraudulent wire transfers, and the deployment of malware. The indicted individuals are accused of working for Mahak Rayan Afraz, a company allegedly used as a front for their operations. The US government has also announced rewards for information leading to their capture and sanctions against the group and its members.
