🔴 Critical: FBI Seizes 7 Domains, Disrupts Flax Typhoon Tools Used in Critical Infrastructure Intrusions
-
The U.S. FBI and Department of Justice have announced a coordinated disruption of malicious infrastructure tied to Flax Typhoon, a China-linked advanced persistent threat group. As part of the operation, authorities seized several domains and blocked access to platforms the group used to scan and, in some cases, infiltrate U.S. critical infrastructure.
Key details from the announcement:
- 7 domains were seized in the operation.
- The targeted infrastructure was used for scanning and intrusion activity against U.S. critical infrastructure.
- Flax Typhoon is described as a China-linked advanced persistent threat group.
- The disruption was carried out jointly by the FBI and the DoJ.
The agencies have not released further technical specifics in the available reporting, so organizations should continue to monitor official advisories for additional indicators and guidance as they emerge.
