Microsoft said the group of hackers, known as Volt Typhoon, tried to attack US military bases in Guam. China rejects the claims.
Microsoft has warned that state-backed Chinese hackers are targeting critical US infrastructure and could be laying the technical groundwork for possible disruption of communications between the US and Asia during future crises.
The company said the targets include sites in Guam, where the US has a major military presence.
Microsoft said in a blog post on Wednesday that the state-sponsored group of hackers, which it calls Volt Typhoon, has been active since mid-2021.
It said organizations affected by the hacking – which seek frequent access – are in the communications, manufacturing, utility, transport, construction, maritime, information technology and education sectors.
