- Department of Justice has corrected a press statement about Chinese hacking of federal agencies.
- The DoJ now says agencies like NASA, the Federal Reserve, and the Department of Energy were targets of the hacking group QTFY, not confirmed victims.

- The FBI has seized and disrupted the internet domains connected to the group's hacking tools QScan and QTRouter.

- Whether other U.S. agencies confirm or deny actual compromises linked to QTFY.
- Any further DoJ or court updates as the domain seizure case proceeds.
