The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency has named Volt Typhoon. The company is associated with China and receives state support.

Microsoft said it had uncovered alleged secret malicious activity by Volt Typhoon in order to gain access to credentials. In March last year, the US authorities offered up to $ 10 million for data on Russian Yevgeny Gladkikh, suspected of cyber attacks against critical US facilities. The FSB of Russia said that the United States, in an attempt to hide its involvement in cyber attacks on Russia, seeks to present them as the IT Army of Ukraine group.
