(Worthy News) – The Department of Justice announced that it is bringing charges against a hacking group of five Chinese nationals—all of whom are currently in China—for their role in hacking over 100 companies in the United States and abroad, according to a Wednesday press release.
Part of a larger group called “APT41,” the five hackers targeted private enterprises, institutions such as think tanks and universities, and pro-democracy politicians and activists in Hong Kong. APT41 has ties to Chinese intelligence and is allowed to operate illegally by the Chinese Communist Party.
Justice Department officials welcomed the charges and voiced their concern regarding the role China has played in hacking. [ Source: Washington Free Beacon (Read More…) ]
