US Seizes Chinese Hacking Platforms Targeting NASA, Senate, Federal Reserve

The U.S. Department of Justice and the FBI announced on Wednesday, August 26, 2026, that they have seized and disrupted two hacking platforms, QScan and QTRouter, which were used by a Chinese state-sponsored group to target critical U.S. government agencies and infrastructure. The operation, which involved taking control of three internet domains, effectively rendered the platforms inoperable, according to officials. The hacking group, identified as QTFY, is allegedly operated by the Nanjing Xinjiuwei Network Technology Company, a China-based firm.
