Australia has joined the Five Eyes Security Alliance in condemning a recent cyberattack by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) that has targeted critical infrastructure networks across the United States.

The joint advisory was issued after it was discovered that a recent “cluster of activity” was associated with the CCP’s hacking group, Volt Typhoon—a state-sponsored actor typically focused on espionage and information gathering.
