U.S. Sanctions Chinese Cybersecurity Firm Over Infrastructure Hacks

Integrity Technology Group is accused of supporting state-sponsored Flax Typhoon hackers targeting critical U.S. and global infrastructure.

The U.S. Treasury Department sanctioned Beijing-based Integrity Technology Group for allegedly aiding the Chinese state-sponsored hacking group Flax Typhoon.
Flax Typhoon reportedly compromised over 260,000 devices globally, targeting U.S. critical infrastructure, universities, corporations, and government agencies since at least 2021.
The FBI disrupted a botnet linked to the group in September 2024, which had been used to obscure the hackers' origins and conduct cyberattacks.
The sanctions block Integrity Tech from accessing U.S. financial systems and freeze any assets it holds in the United States.
Chinese officials have denied the allegations, accusing the U.S. of baseless claims, while U.S. authorities call the group a persistent threat to national security.
