Volt Typhoon Used Covert Silent Train Network in Four Zero-Day Exploitation Campaigns
By [email protected] (The Hacker News)
AI Summary
Lumen Technologies Black Lotus Labs has attributed a covert access network dubbed 'Silent Train' to China-nexus group Volt Typhoon, first identified in late 2023. The framework uses rotating chains of compromised SOHO, IoT, and enterprise devices to support four distinct zero-day exploitation campaigns against critical infrastructure. Security teams defending edge devices and network appliances should treat this as a high-priority threat-intel update given Volt Typhoon's persistent targeting of US critical infrastructure.
