Justice Department and FBI Conduct International Operation to Delete Malware Used by China-Backed Hackers
Court-Authorized Operation Removes PlugX Malware from Over 4,200 Infected U.S. Computers
If I read the story right, a French cybersecurity company identified and hijacked a command-and-control server that controls a certain malware from China. The FBI works with French law enforcement to use that command-and-control server to send "self-delete" commands to the malware on infected U.S. computers.
