In a recent joint operation, the FBI successfully dismantled the Flax Typhoon botnet, a significant threat to U.S. and global infrastructure, targeting numerous organizations.
Director Wray emphasized that Flax Typhoon's actions were harmful, leading the FBI to collaborate with partners to take control of the botnet's vast network.
The botnet's operators attempted to thwart the FBI's efforts with DDoS attacks and server migrations, revealing the resilience of their infrastructure until ultimately abandoning it.
Wray noted that the attackers disguised themselves as an information security entity; however, their connections to the Chinese government were potentially detrimental.
