华盛顿，10月8日——美国官员称，为打击与中国信息技术企业 Integrity Technology Group有关的黑客活动，他们已查封了7个互联网域名。
WASHINGTON, Oct 8 - US officials say they are seizing seven internet domains in a new effort to disrupt hackers working with Chinese IT firm Integrity Technology Group.
美国司法部在周四发布的声明中指出，这些域名曾被用于协助中国黑客扫描并入侵美国及其他国家的关键基础设施系统。
In a statement issued on Thursday, the Justice Department said the domains were being used to help Chinese hackers scan and hack US and foreign critical infrastructure systems.
据悉，此次行动是美国第二次公开采取措施破坏 Integrity Tech的黑客基础设施。2024年9月，美国司法部宣布经法院批准，捣毁了一个由超过25万台受控设备组成的 Integrity Tech僵尸网络，这些设备分布于美国及全球各地。
The department said the move was the second public effort to disrupt Integrity Tech’s hacking infrastructure. In September 2024, the department announced the court-authorized disruption of an Integrity Tech botnet consisting of more than 250,000 compromised consumer devices in the United States and across the world.
时任联邦调查局局长克里斯托弗·雷指出，Integrity Tech隶属于一个代号为“Flax Typhoon”的中国黑客组织，该组织专门为中国政府的安全机构执行情报收集与侦察任务。
At the time, then-FBI Director Christopher Wray said that Integrity Tech was behind a major Chinese hacking group nicknamed "Flax Typhoon" and was carrying out intelligence collection and reconnaissance functions for Beijing's security agencies.
周四下班时间后，记者尝试联系中国驻美大使馆寻求置评，但暂未收到回复。中国政府一贯否认参与任何黑客攻击活动。
The Chinese Embassy in Washington did not immediately return a message seeking comment after business hours on Thursday. Beijing routinely denies carrying out hacking operations.
