what a dumb comment. Volt Typhoon have been discovered in critical infrastructure—not universities—across the world using lotl techniques. they are a group not hacking for espionage but hacking to directly sabotage their targets… i.e. shutting down electricity grids, telecommunications, water, etc.
also, they are not “PRC-sponsored”, they are the PRC, more specifically the PLA.
