FILE - In this March 22, 2019 file photo, an American flag flies outside the Department of Justice in Washington. The Justice Department has accused two Chinese hackers of stealing hundreds of millions of dollars of trade secrets from companies across the world and more recently targeting firms developing a vaccine for the coronavirus. Officials expected to discuss the indictment at a news conference Tuesday.
WASHINGTON — The Justice Department on Tuesday accused two Chinese hackers of stealing hundreds of millions of dollars of trade secrets from companies across the world and more recently targeting firms developing a vaccine forThe indictment, which officials expected to discuss at a news conference, says the hackers in recent months had researched vulnerabilities in the computer networks of companies publicly known for their work in developing vaccines and treatments.
No kidding, China’s been stealing everything for many many years, blockchain will fix that.
These is once again ftom 'The Evil Pompeo's' story to the world to destroy China's trust. Keep lying and making up stories. Keep destroying the world peace. China is a peaceful country. Not like you'U.S.' so much problems with Human Right! Stop your Lies.
They want to know what our vaccines will/will not stop. That way, it won’t stop their next virus.
National security is the most important.
I think by now most people know that China Russia North Korea and few more hack anything they can from the USA and others . The problem we have is our president lets them
croncrete Apparently the campaign donations from the CCP to the Trump campaign didn't arrive yet
Crucify those Chinese hackers, China is a sick man in Asia!
takehezo vuvupazu
Sounds like China wants the vaccine too!
Americans are behind in Covid vaccine research, why would the Chinese want to steal your “research”? You also have the worst record in handling this pandemic, that’s like cheating off the kid who eats crayons in class
What if all nations and researchers posted Covid 19 research online to share? We need all of the brilliant minds in the world working on and solving this issue as fast as possible.
Next up, the Chinese sponsored the bounties on American soldiers in Afghanistan. TRE45ON BountyGateAintGoingAway TrumpHasNoCredibility PutinsGOP
sleepy joe biden was an advocate for jim crow laws
Hackers are thieves they need to be nailed.
Sorry, don't buy it. This is just another of the dozens of tactics that this US admin has employed to distract from it's Covid19 failures.
Unfortunately, this does not surprise me. Sometimes, I feel that technology is the worse enemy of all.
Maybe the problem is that information about a vaccine for a GLOBAL FUCKING PANDEMIC is considered 'hundreds of billions of dollars worth of trade secrets'. The future is open source. Fuck the privatization of information that can help millions of sick people.
The 'suspects'. christuckerreal is a god damn genius so idk could be real. Don't catch coronavirus. Spread GoodVibes Satire is fun.
Shouldn’t we be sharing our research and data? We’re in a pandemic ffs, the priority should be to eradicate it
If, by now, you do not understand that this was a premeditated attack on the US and other countries then you're on the wrong side of reality.
What kind of BS is this.
Still nothing done against russia huh?TrumpIsATraitor
🇺🇸 Let's remain vigilant!! POTUS is the only President strong on China I doubt JoeBiden will do the same.
They are thieves and criminals all the CCP , look what they are doing to the people of Hong Kong.
So a virus originates from china and now they are targeting the cure? C'mon! 🤨
Screw China Idc how much you hate trump SCREW CHINA
LizLuras Perhaps donny shouldn't have stabbed his little stick into their kennel!
Isn’t the public too easy to fool?
Another accusation with no evidence, just like how Trump claimed that the virus came from a lab, and tell people to drink disinfectant
Once again, Trump pivots to protect Russia- who has been caught doing this- by pointing at China and shrieking batshit crazy at the top of his lungs.
If this is coming from Trump's DOJ it really means that we are currently hacking Chinas vaccine research. Smh.
Aren't the Chinese already in Phase 2 of two vaccine trials? None the less just cut the fiber optic cord to Asia. Same with Russia, let the EU be the lackey to talk to China, oh right they cancelled thier 5G order.
Lol, all the people defending China
THE MORE PEOPLE LOOKING INTO A VACCINE THE BETTER. THANKS FOR THE GREAT NEWS.
The Russians had something to do with it not china
They start this pandemic than steal the secrets to fix it.
Why the USA is only care about China this and China that?
Isn't it funny how Russia isn't mentioned by the no-justice department.
Right. China stole US vaccines secret that US does not have as US lags so much behind in developing vaccines itself. As usual, fake news to stoke hatred towards China.
Okay but Russia is doing the EXACT same thing, wheres the condemnation for them
valdenisselg i'm sure some will believe it as was WMDS
A country with 80k cases wants to steal a country with 4M cases.
valdenisselg so funny
valdenisselg hahahha keep making shit up , WMDS weapons of mass deception , USA doesn't tell lies, fool us once, never again
Who cares lmao, they are making a vaccine
I know, China definitely is the cause of all US problems.
Not surprised
To be fair US drug companies will manufacture the vaccine in China anyway. Just getting a head start
Every get a back that don't make u sick wake up
Vaccination to keep it here no vacc listen to the retire nurses sadd our hospitals are on population control not to help the people who built their world
The search for a vaccine should be a worldwide effort. Why aren't we sharing data with all others looking for a vaccine?
Shouldn’t vaccine research be shared? There should be no profit from vaccines. Just share the info for free. This is a global issue.
Vaccine information should be shared throughout the world.We are all in this together.All governments in the world are only thinking about their pockets. Shame on you all.
Western counties are so fkn naive.
Oh boy here we go
Oh, so the most powerful USA can’t even hack back? Or it’s just a country of full lies? One of the weakest president trump trying to start a war in order to be re-elected, which is making all discussion like BS. The way how you treat Africa American and all Asians will
So, I guess the U.S. is just going to ignore the Russian hacking of Covid-19 research and pin it solely on the Chinese. Trump: I just asked President Putin. He denied it and I believe him.
Time to fight back. Have been hacking us for years. Now want to steal the vaccine so they can appear to the rest of the world as a savior. They hacked the office of personal management in 2015 ( nothing happened) & have been stealing our technology for years.
Shouldn't the Chinese be accused of funding martians to attack earth?🤣🤣🤣🤣
Vaccine made by Chinese companies is now open to market, where is US made vaccine? Gotta be stolen by Chinese.
Now accuse Putin of paying to have our soldiers killed.
Odd, when White Russian hackers do the same nobody says anything
Again, no evidence. Lol
evidence？
RealDealAxelrod The US responded by closing a Chinese consolate in Houston.
Isn't the country need it the most got the most covid cases And they said Chinese created virus in the lab and now they have to hack the cure
哈哈哈哈哈，so funny! The United States government is a mess now🤣
And China is leading in vaccine research while trying to steal from US? What da hack?
Show me
But China is leading on the vaccine progress, no? I wonder if they plan to buy all production for their own use like Trump did to Remdesivir.
Where is the damn proof? I accuse trump administration of the same thing
Trump then responded that he is pissed because he planned to sell the information to Russia to help steal the election.
It's normal for US to accused anyone for stealing upfront just in case that someone one discovered the vaccine first. Then US will then claimed the vaccine is stollen from them.
Nuke em already.
News 1: Chinese made the virus. News 2: Chinese have to hack Us to find vaccine. I guess. American people believe both and make sense to them. Lol
Why aren’t we all sharing all our vaccine data? When the boat is sinking, you hand your neighbor a bucket. Work together.
I guess with the metoo movement, no one needs evidence to dish out hacking accusations either now.
The real culprit!
They should be thoughrly investigated
Why are the foreign countries trying to hack it? We could work together and solve..
Chinese hackers again, they only know how to steal but not create. BoycottChina
Too bad we can’t trust our own Justice Dept. to tell the truth. It’s the boy who cried wolf with the lying Trump Administration. This could very well have happened, but no intelligent person will believe the US without a healthy dose of skepticism.
That would be terrible if the Russians or Chinese were able to develop a life-saving vaccine for millions of people using stolen data, wouldn't it? Wait. How would that be terrible? Can someone spell it out?
Of course winniethepoohchinasleader did it! He’s a horrible human! Clearly!
I can only give my opinion on the vaccine research, just let them have it. The vaccine should be for everyone anyway. At this point in time, everyone is at their ends hearing about the virus so just pass out the vaccine to the world so we can move on.
Timcast
Translation: Intelligence knew China is going to develop a vaccine first, so they started smearing to save some face.
Blame China ! And Russia ! US number 1!
US always accuses everyone of everything from countries they don't like. In reality the most sophisticated hackers are from USA.
China is really just a bigger threat then any other entity.
Who's Justice department
It’s time to shut down internet in China or bomb a few of their fake islands in the South China Sea
Fuck your trade secrets, bro. Trade secrets are killing people.
Sure.. everyone is trying to steal from US... They're all trying to be number one in covid ... Congrats on reaching 4 millions...
Why should we believe anything that comes from Barr’s DOJ!!
Gotta blame someone they blame China for covid-19 now it's a great distraction from the covid-19 disaster in the 🇺🇸 which has been and continues to be neglected as 1000s of good 🇺🇸 citizens die and the useless use of skin tries too build his political position which is -0.
Bill Barr deflecting from his handlers in Russia. DisbarBarr
The vaccine should be free to everyone in the world. Why the F are there secrets between countries on this in the first place? We should be working together to fix the problem. America is so stupid.
What is this?
Don’t we have more important things to worry about? Like, getting the vaccine finished so WE ALL don’t have to worry about it?
Is there a justice department in us?😂
*trump red herring.
Why isn't the vaccine open source?
You can't pretend that you're crew isn't trying to do the same.
Smoke screen for his Russian hacking buddies
I mean who cares, if they can break in then they deserve the info 🤷🏻♂️ just trying to get a vaccine that works first
Y’all still worrying about trade secrets during a pandemic? People out here dying and you’re worried about how you can make money?
China:
Did I miss the Justice Department condemning Russia for doing the same damn thing?
Every country should be working together to find a vaccine
Sure
It’s not all about you!!!! I so hope that someone other than the greedy US government comes through with the first vaccine. We need to ensure vaccine for all!
Can you plaese explain to me why somebody would prevent somebody from finding a coronovirus cure? Do they want the real estate industry to crash?🤔
realDonaldTrump More tariffs against China now?
When the heck will we learn. The US must protect its intellectual property, but by exporting our soul for maximum shareholder benefit, this is the cost we pay. We have chipped away at our technical and business prowess as a result. I hope we can recover and be smarter
If you put it on a computer it will be hacked/stolen. Just one of the downsides to internet.
KTLA The CCP is also funding BLM and ANTIFA.
I don’t doubt about that because we still have Chinese people in the Cabinet and running the state, is that unusual, the termites infiltrated our economy, needs to be fumigated according to Nancy the ripper. Nancy’s friend in Chinatown
Its China's biz model that make it to a close Superpower, The art of copy and cheap reproduce, so they highly depend on such Individuals, they learned it from the ex. USSR. 😉👍🇨🇳
Hmmm why would China need to steal a vaccine when they claim to have had less than 90k cases and virtually none since March? Could their government be lying? 😱
Hey you stupid companies how about you stop putting your intellectual property on computers that have access to internet. At least then they have to be there physically to steal your crap. No computer should have access out side the companies network ever.
China is the new scapegoat for Russian hackers. PutinPuppetTrump may be pushing this per Putin orders! PutinsGOP PutinOwnsTrump
Why China steals technology from America when China has more advanced technology of vaccine?And why hackers did that in Jan? Doesn't something aim to biolab of America in Maryland,does it?
China needs to be down like a rabid animal.
General Colin Powell was once quoted: “The next shot heard ‘round the world will be the click of a mouse.”
Is there anything the Chinese can’t do?
Tragic. Lol.
'accuses'? Is Associated Press trying to smear the Justice Department? They are indicted. Associated Press: The lapdog of the CCP
I sure hope the US is stealing way more than gets stolen.
The GOP trying to sway Americans from the real issues.
Seriously. What about the Russia hacking? I take it that’s ok?
“Around the world...”? The world isn’t flat.
When we will start receiving further news from the 5 eyes intelligence units in Britain , Canada, Australia , New Zealand. It normally follows a sequence and start against business. Diplomats, trade and bank accounts .
And Peggy...
Hi! I'm from South Africa 😊🇿🇦 would Just really love making friends from this side of the world 😊
What was the DOJ/WH response to the details that Russia also hacked covid vaccine companies?
The CCP! 2 MEN ARE HIGHLY TRAINED SOLDIERS! DUHHHHH.
The US can’t control a pandemic that is killing thousands of people so makes up shit to de very attention. The Chinese have a vaccine already and are giving it away for free. This admin is a bunch of murderous thugs . They need to go to prison.
War
How fast of that accusation is ! It takes years to search and collect crime evidences from companies across the world. The Justice Department must be the most efficient institution in the world, except for forgery of evidences. Why should Chinese steal vaccines from U.S. ?
U.S.-Sino relations have now slid down to the tit for tat stage.
Why are companies using computers hooked to the internet and storing classified documents. You would think they would store that information on a computer off the grid
Lots of CCP sympathizers in these comments
Absolutely no way that China only has 4600 deaths from COVID. Surely no one believes that.
Time to really hammer China, world is fed up with the Chinese government
'Justice' Department😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 If Americans really had a 'Justice' Department, we would have Full Access to the Mueller Report that we paid for. GTFOH. But thanks for the Laugh.
oh, seriously? can you guess where I came from based on my IP address? 144.34.211.4 is california, and it'll swap to something else easily if I switch a VPN.
What I think is interesting is the US government accusing China of making the virus and then accusing them of stealing their very preciou$ vaccine data that could give the US firm$ billion$ of dollar$.
Ooo . I know 41% of the world hacker are from China. But it's common. If China want it can burn it down to the Americans in a moment. If amarica get his nose in the Chinese business. Then something horrible are going to happen. It's my prediction.
So what? US accused Iraq for possessing weapons of mass destruction.
Just two ppl did all that?
Probably 45’ admin doing it
Russia and China and the dictators he holds in such high regards... No this is a 'hoax at best fake news' all of them including trump are 🤡
I'm sure Trump will react with the exact same level of zero concern that he did when told of Russian bounties and hacking attempts to steal COVID-19 vaccine info.
I cannot believe anything that comes out of that department.
And who believes the justice department at this point?
And Trump will do nada. He owes millions to the Bank of China. He pays them by doing nada, just like he pays Russia.
get em
Those hackers were undoubtedly from a cyber warfare division of the People's Liberation Army, or at the very least backed by the CCP.
and se still dont think the chinese developed the corona virus?
Deflect, distract, disrupt, divert
Why isn’t the research being shared freely between nations? 🤔 Simple answer. The US big pharma wants to capitalize on the vaccine 😡
People are hacking everything EXCEPT student loans
We really need to restrict their IPO’s. I learned this yesterday.
sorry but if those “trade secrets” are key to stopping the coronavirus i care more about the fact that they’re hidden in the first place than that they were illegally revealed
Really? Because Putin is the one trying to steal COVID vaccine
Breaking: Russia did the same fucking thing...
We seem to have such trouble with this country. Maybe it’s not a good idea to have moved so much of our manufacturing over there. 🤔
Good! Apparently they can use information better than us anyways!
It is our patriotic duty to protect the intellectual property of pharmaceutical companies. The pandemic must be allowed to rage until a 100% made in the USA vaccine can be purchased by the world at exorbitant prices!
etuckerAP Seriously I’m confused vis the stealing info the vaccine- aren’t we at the part of the disaster movie where the world comes together and shares our experience, hope & science to overcome the pandemic/defeat the aliens/redirect the asteroid?
So Elon didn't steal Russian rocket secrets to create SpaceX? The world needs to move to the Chinese model of open source.
RaleighGOP The NBA is upset with this malicious attack on China
'the justice dept accuses Chinese hackers of copying US plans to destroy the apocalyptic meteor headed for earth. Sanctions are expected'
Probably huge NBA fans .
The DOJ is more than likely pissed because they didn’t get the secrets themselves. Barr is one corrupt individual
Justice wouldn't 'accuse' if they didn't have evidence. They have evidence.
good, let hackers hack and stop whining about it. if you got nothing to hide they got nothing to hack 😏
China continues to exercise broad discretion in their ability to poke and prod the Western world’s electronic infrastructure. There needs to be a clear doctrine of response; their escalations and provocations are too many too simply ignore and return with a sanction/indictment.
Is this Satan accusing Lucifer of doing something wrong?
This release by Washington has nothing to do with Britain’s scathing report against Russian interference, I’m sure.
I imagine we will do something about Chinese hackers, while we ignore those from Russia
The Justice Department. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

You're so American you can't even stop a hacker?
This isnt big news when we have an enabler and treason President allowing Russia and china to interfere in our country, so we have someone here doing this from the highest seat in the world
They are the “Chinese”! That’s why no country should use Huawei unless they want to live under CCPChina’s surveillance. BoycottChineseProducts
❤😍
any system that shrouds its vaccine research behind walls and hides this crucial knowledge deserves to be destroyed.
Go figure. If McConnell had listened to Dems re hacking, we would not be in this position.
Was it really Chinese hackers or is trump pushing for that to protect his Russian hacker buddies for Putin?
China sucks
Another hoax like RUSSIAN collusion what will the dems make up this time
And the Democrats want to continue calling Trump delusional about this when he is right all along!
