US reports Chinese hacker attacks on agencies
The U.S. Department of Justice has revealed a massive cyber espionage campaign carried out by Chinese hackers, targeting numerous federal agencies including NASA, the Federal Reserve Board, the Departments of Justice and Energy, as well as military networks, hospitals, and energy companies. The hackers used a Chinese technology company in an attempt to cover up their attacks and increase their effectiveness, with authorities seizing three internet domains belonging to the company. These operations are part of a long-standing series of Chinese hacking campaigns against vital American infrastructure, causing ongoing tension between the two countries—especially amid heightened concerns over the security of transportation, energy networks, and the potential escalation of security and economic risks.
