A new report indicates that the US government pressured relevant cybersecurity companies to revise technical reports to support the claim that 'Volt Typhoon' is a ransomware organization. The report, released by China, suggests that the US fabricated the hacker group 'Volt Typhoon' to maintain cyber hegemony and secure funding. The Global Times reports that the US instructed companies to change the content of their reports to cover up evidence, disregarding traces left during the operation. This is described as a real-life version of turning a blind eye to the truth.
