This marks the second public disruption of Integrity Tech’s cyber infrastructure. In September 2024, the department reported taking down a large botnet associated with the company, which included over 250,000 compromised devices globally. The FBI has previously connected Integrity Tech to a major Chinese hacking group known as ‘Flax Typhoon,’ which is believed to be working for Beijing’s intelligence agencies.
