What happened and what to do
According to the report by The Record, published on October 8, 2026, the United States and other nations took down digital tools and infrastructure of Integrity Tech, based in Beijing. According to the report, these tools enabled widespread vulnerability scanning and, in some cases, intrusions, as part of the campaign attributed to the group Flax Typhoon.
For companies, the case shows that exposure to automated scans of internet-facing systems is constant. A practical response starts with an inventory of the organization's public services, followed by continuous monitoring of exposed ports, certificates and software versions, with alerts when something changes. It also helps to log and correlate access attempts in centralized logs, to distinguish scanning from intrusion patterns and prioritize fixes.
