FBI takes down China-linked hacking network behind attacks on NASA, DOJ and U.S. Senate
FBI seized domains disabling QScan and QTRouter malware run by China-linked QTFY group behind intrusions at NASA, DOJ, Senate and other agencies.
The Justice Department and FBI seized domains hard-coded into two malware tools, QScan and QTRouter, operated by a Chinese state-sponsored group called QTFY, tied to a Nanjing-based company that sold hacking services to China's Ministry of State Security and the PLA. QScan infected IoT devices worldwide while QTRouter combined them with commercial proxies and rented servers to build an obfuscation network that masked attack origins. Victims include NASA, the Federal Reserve, the Departments of Energy and Justice, HHS, NIH, and the U.S. Senate. The FBI and NSA published a joint advisory with indicators of compromise, the latest in operations against Mustang Panda, Flax Typhoon, and Volt Typhoon infrastructure.

NASA AIT-GUI Flaws Could Let Unauthenticated Attackers Issue Spacecraft Commands
Researchers disclosed 9.4-CVSS flaws in NASA/JPL's AIT-GUI allowing unauthenticated attackers to issue arbitrary spacecraft commands via exposed command endpoints.
Cycode disclosed a flaw chain in AIT-GUI, the browser-based operator console for NASA/JPL's open-source AMMOS Instrument Toolkit, tracked as GHSA-p9r8-2q67-fp86 with CVSS 9.4, affecting versions 2.5.1 and earlier. The server binds to 0.0.0.0:8080, issues sessions without credential checks, and lets unauthenticated users issue spacecraft commands via POST /cmd and reach files outside intended directories via /script/run and /seq (CWE-306, CWE-352, CWE-22). Version 2.5.2 adds host binding and same-origin checks but does not add authentication, and a related missing-authentication flaw was published separately as CVE-2026-60112 with CVSS 9.3.

FBI seizes hacking tools it says China used to attack NASA, DOE, US Senate and other critical networks
FBI seized botnets and hacking tools it says China used to attack NASA, DOE, US Senate and other critical networks.
The FBI seized command infrastructure and hacking tools allegedly used by Chinese state-linked botnets to compromise NASA, the Department of Energy, the US Senate and other critical networks. The operation, described as busting Beijing's botnets, disrupts access to networks of national security significance. The action ties into ongoing US efforts to counter Chinese state-sponsored intrusion activity against government and critical-infrastructure targets.

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.

NASA Ground Control Software Flaw Enables Unauthenticated Commands
Critical flaws in NASA's AIT-GUI ground control software let unauthenticated attackers send spacecraft commands and execute scripts.
NASA's AIT-GUI ground control software contains critical flaws that expose spacecraft command and script execution to unauthenticated attackers. Anyone able to reach the ground control interface could send unauthorized commands without valid credentials. The report does not indicate that the flaws have been exploited in the wild.
