DOJ Deletes China-Linked PlugX Malware Off More Than 4,200 US Computers
The Record – Malware used by Chinese state-backed hackers has been removed from thousands of U.S. computers in an operation launched by the FBI and Justice Department. U.S law enforcement accused the People’s Republic of China of paying hackers that are part of a well-known group called Mustang Panda to deploy the PlugX malware — which allows them to “infect, control, and steal information from victim computers.”
