Do you want to win $ 10 million? Easy! All you need to do is have a processable vision about Salt Typhoon, the infamous collective of Chinese piracy.
At the end of last week, the Federal Research Office (FBI) published a new announcement, asking the public to help identify the key people of the notorious actor of threats sponsored by the Chinese state.
Those who provide the Intel Law Application Agency can expect a reward of up to $ 10 million.
Rewards
“The FBI is issuing this announcement to ask the public to report information on the activity affiliated with the PRC publicly tracked as” Typhoon de Salt “and the commitment of multiple telecommunications companies in the USA. UU., Especially information about specific people behind the campaign,” reads the FBI announcement.
“The research on these actors and their activity revealed a broad and significant cybernetic campaign to take advantage of access to these networks to attack victims at a global scale. This activity resulted in the theft of call data records, a limited number of private communications that involve identified victims and the copy of select information subject to the requests for the application of the United States law ordered by the Court.”
The FBI also said that the Program of Rewards of the Department of State of Justice (RFJ) of the United States (RFJ) is offering a reward of “up to $ 10 million for information on people linked to the foreign government involved in certain malicious cyber activities against the critical infrastructure of the United States”, in violation of the law of fraud and abuse of computing (CFAA).
Since the writing of the announcement, it seems that generosity extends beyond the salt typhoon and in other groups that attacked the critical infrastructure companies of the United States. Those probably also included Volt Typhoon, another group sponsored by the Chinese state that was observed pursuing the same objectives.
