FBI Seizes China-Linked Hacking Platforms QScan and QTRouter Used Against Critical Infrastructure

FBI seizes China-linked QScan and QTRouter hacking platforms used by QTFY to obfuscate intrusions against US federal agencies.

The DOJ and FBI seized domains hard-coded into QScan and QTRouter, two platforms operated by China-based Nanjing Xinjiuwei Network Technology Company on behalf of state-sponsored group QTFY. QScan automatically infected thousands of IoT devices which were added to QTRouter, an obfuscation network routing malicious traffic through compromised and proxy devices outside China. Targets included NASA, the Federal Reserve, Departments of Energy, Justice, and HHS, NIH, and the US Senate, exploiting flaws in Fortinet SSL-VPN, Citrix ADC, Microsoft Exchange, F5 BIG-IP, Log4j, and others.

US takes down alleged Chinese hacking tools used against Federal Reserve, DOJ and Senate

DOJ takes down QScan and QTRouter Chinese obfuscation platforms used to breach Federal Reserve, DOE, DOJ, and Senate since 2018.

The DOJ and FBI seized domains hard-coded into QScan and QTRouter, platforms run by Nanjing Xinjiuwei Network Technology Company and used by China's Ministry of State Security and PLA. QScan automatically infected IoT devices worldwide which were absorbed into QTRouter, allowing attackers to disguise intrusions as originating from other countries or local sources. Victims included the Federal Reserve, Department of Energy, DOJ, US Senate, NASA, HHS, NIH, plus hospitals, telecoms, power companies, financial institutions, and defense contractors. The FBI investigated QTFY since 2018, tracing a 2019 NASA incident through Pulse Secure VPN exploitation.
