Google Shuts Down ‘Prolific’ Hacking Group Linked to China

Google and its cybersecurity partners have disrupted a cyber espionage group with suspected ties to the Chinese state, the company said Wednesday.

It was one of several such operations involving enforcement actions against Chinese cyberoperations this week, including misuse of AI to train domestic large language models (LLM) and carry out pro-Beijing influence operations.The disclosure follows a string of Chinese-linked hacking campaigns in recent years, some believed to have state backing, that have targeted government officials, think tanks and Chinese dissidents overseas.

Other groups have sought access to U.S. critical infrastructure. American intelligence officials have warned that such access, if established, could be weaponized in the event of a conflict with Beijing.
