Volt Typhoon, a cyber espionage group with ties to China, utilized a covert network called Silent Train for zero-day exploitation campaigns. This network has been disrupted.
Silent Train was first identified in late 2023 and employed rotating chains of compromised SOHO, IoT, and enterprise infrastructure to gain strategic access.
