Chinese Hackers Seized Outdated Routers for Covert Data Transfer

Volt Typhoon, also known as the Bronze Silhouette, has been discovered to be linked with a complex botnet called “KV-botnet.” The threat actor has been using this botnet to target Small Office/Home Office routers since at least February 2022. Their primary targets are routers, firewalls, and VPN devices which are utilized for proxying malicious traffic.  According to reports from Microsoft and the US government, this threat actor is building their infrastructure to disrupt communications between the USA and Asia in case of future conflicts.
