'Volt Typhoon': Microsoft says this China-sponsored group behind cyber attacks in USA |Oneindia News
Microsoft has claimed that a Chinese cyberespionage group has been targeting critical infrastructure organizations across the United StatesâŠincluding Guam, an island hosting multiple military bases, since at least mid-2021.
Experts say it's one of the largest known cyber espionage campaigns against the US.
The attack was reportedly carried out by China's state-sponsored cyber group "Volt Typhoonâ and the attacks relied on "living-off-the-land techniques".
This involved hackers infiltrating local networks to modify their tools and issue commands, while remaining largely undetected.
Their targets and breached entities span a wide range of critical sectors, including government, maritime, communications, manufacturing, information technology, utilities, transportation, construction, and education.
Together with the Five Eyes alliance - comprising the intelligence agencies of the US, Australia, Britain, New Zealand and Canada - Microsoft had published details of the cyber-espionage attacks this past Wednesday.
Undersea cables in the Red Sea have been cut, disrupting internet traffic across Asia and the Middle East, with speculation swirling over whether Yemenâs Houthis or accidental ship anchors are responsible. Microsoft confirmed increased latency for some Azure users but said global traffic rerouting limited the wider impact. While Houthis, who have attacked over 100 ships since late 2023, deny targeting cables, experts warn intentional strikes could escalate the Israel-Hamas conflict into a broader international crisis. Investigations remain ongoing.

The Red Sea conflict escalates as Yemeni Houthis, already targeting Israeli and international vessels, are now suspected of cutting multiple undersea cables. Microsoft confirmed severe latency issues for Azure cloud users, with connectivity across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East disrupted. While the cause of the cable damage remains unclear, speculation mounts over Houthi involvement amid their vow to enforce a blockade. The latest crisis underscores the Red Seaâs emergence as a central front in the broader Middle East conflict.

In a shocking cyber breach, Chinese state-sponsored hackers reportedly infiltrated the U.S. National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) by exploiting critical vulnerabilities in Microsoftâs SharePoint software. The attackâlinked to groups like Linen Typhoon, Violet Typhoon, and Storm-2603âmarks one of the most serious intrusions into Americaâs nuclear weapons design systems to date. Although no classified data appears to have been stolen, the breach has triggered alarm at the Pentagon and within U.S. cybersecurity circles.

The U.S. has shut its closest allies out of Ukraine peace intelligence in a stunning break with the Five Eyes alliance. A July 20 directive from DNI Tulsi Gabbard classified all RussiaâUkraine negotiation files as NOFORNâblocking access for the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Reports first surfaced via CBS News, sparking outrage across NATO capitals. Critics say Trumpâs âAmerica Firstâ strategy risks fracturing the alliance, weakening Kyiv, and handing Moscow leverage, with allies warning of possible retaliation.
