The Chinese government’s Volt Typhoon spy team has apparently already compromised a large US city’s emergency services network and has been spotted snooping around America’s telecommunications’ providers as well.
According to a report on Tuesday by industrial cybersecurity biz Dragos, the crew has been conducting reconnaissance and enumeration of “multiple” American electric companies since early 2023. And, more recently, the Beijing spies have apparently targeted emergency management services, including telecommunications and satellite services.
