US seizes domains of Chinese botnet used to target NASA, Justice Department, and the Senate

US Justice Department seized domains of a Chinese botnet used to hack NASA, the Justice Department, and the Senate, disabling its C2.

The US Justice Department seized domains belonging to a Chinese botnet that was used to hack NASA, the Justice Department, and the Senate. The seized domains were hardcoded into the botnet's code, so the seizures rendered the botnet and its command-and-control servers inoperable. The action disrupted the malware's communication channels and essential operations.
