known as Volt Typhoon is exploiting a bug in a California-based startup to hack American and Indian internet companies, according to security researchers.
Lumen shared its findings with Versa in late June, according to Lumen and supporting documentation shared with Bloomberg. The bug carries a “high” severity rating, according to the National Vulnerability Database. On Friday, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, known as CISA, ordered federal agencies to patch Versa products or stop using them by Sept. 13.
The Chinese government has dismissed US accusations, saying the hacking attacks attributed to Volt Typhoon are the work of cyber criminals. Lumen first identified the malicious code in June, according to Lumen researcher Michael Horka. A malware sample uploaded from Singapore on June 7 bore the hallmarks of Volt Typhoon, he said in an interview.
