US Justice Department Revises Statement on Chinese Spy Platform Targeting Key Agencies

The Justice Department issued a revised statement on Friday, correcting earlier claims that China had hacked U. S. government agencies. The new statement lists the U. S. Senate, the Federal Reserve, NASA, and other agencies as "among the targets of QTFY," a Chinese spy platform. The revision clarifies that these entities were targeted but does not confirm that they were compromised. The change follows a prior assertion that China had successfully infiltrated these agencies. The updated language reflects a more cautious stance on the extent of Chinese cyber operations against U. S. institutions and may influence future cybersecurity policy and diplomatic engagement.
