Malware that can move almost undetected through networks has been deployed by Chinese state-sponsored cybercriminals against critical infrastructure in the US, the Five Eyes security alliance has warned. The gang behind the breach, Volt Typhoon, is using what's known as a "living off the land" attack to compromise businesses in sectors including telecoms and energy.

A joint advisory from cybersecurity agencies in the Eive Eyes nations - the US, UK, Australia, Canada and New Zealand - says Volt Typhoon is able to run undetected in crucial networks using built-in network administration tools to perform its objectives, a technique known as "living off the land". It could target other nations as well as the US, the Five Eyes alliance believes.
