DOJ charges alleged Chinese hackers for stealing trade secrets, targeting firms working on COVID-19 vaccine

"The defendants stole hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of trade secrets, intellectual property, and other valuable business information," the indictment said.

Their primary goal, according to federal prosecutors, was not only personal financial gain but to hand over stolen data and hacked information to China's Ministry of State Security and other Chinese government agencies. "The hackers stole terabytes of data which comprised a sophisticated and prolific threat to U.S. networks," the DOJ said in a press release."More recently, the defendants probed for vulnerabilities in computer networks of companies developing COVID-19

Weird... it’s almost like they attacked us with a virus

Tip of the iceberg.

check on the government corruption in the governors office

First it was the Russians now you say the Chinese can we get some good honest journalists on staff!!

The United States is facing an over-restricted war. The attack from the ccp virus has caused more than 150,000 deaths in the United States. Now we should forget about elections, forget about the stock market, and forget about the economy. We have not much time left.

Said before and say again, China is a gangster international criminal. Whether they are ripping us off in trade or causing global pandemics. We really should sanction the shit out of these Communists.

_HuntingGrounds Ok I fukn covered this dmn story and didn't anyone give a sht!

I am so glad they never got through, but they targeted other countries, as well.

Those kind of accusations would definitely put USA in a better position about Covid-19 handling than now: If China beats USA in vaccine developing, they stole from USA. If USA beats China, they can not even win by stealing. A few days ago, Russia was also accused for stealing.

China can't be trusted.

No doubt about it, Trump put sanctions on China. China created the coronavirus. They don’t care who they destroy.

So this info is posted while folk is sleep but mainly biased race baiting shit during day. I see..

China.. China.. Chyna🤪🚧

Duh, its about time.

China will get right on extradition.

Well, that's certainly easier than holding realDonaldTrump accountable. Way to go, !

Get the guys giving orders not the pencil pushers

Absolutely starting with drooling Roberts and his pathetic performance during the Impeachment proceedings

It proves even very smart humans have “bad instincts” which lead them to break ethics & values in order to make quick, easy money Why doers everything of national value have to be placed on the public internet ? Shouldn't we have an internet system just for strategic development purposes that has no access to hackers via the public internet system ? Shouldn't we be tired of building China's economy by now?
