WASHINGTON — Chinese state-sponsored hackers infiltrated US government computer networks ranging from NASA to the US Senate before having web domains linked to their malicious cyber group shut down by the feds. The Department of Justice and FBI announced on Wednesday the seizure of three domains linked to Chinese state-sponsored hacking group QTFY, which had been used “to compromise critical infrastructure and other sensitive networks,” according to an FBI affidavit. Since 2018, an FBI special agent wrote in the affidavit, QTFY had succeeded in breaching networks at NASA, NIH, the DOJ, the Department of Health and Human Services, three Department of Energy National Laboratories, the Federal Reserve and the Senate.
