An elite Chinese hacking group with ties to operatives indicted by a US grand jury in 2020 has surged its activity this year, targeting sensitive data held by companies and government agencies in the US and dozens of other countries

The findings highlight the biggest cyber-espionage challenge facing the Biden administration: combating a Chinese hacking program that the FBI has called more prolific than that of all other governments in the world combined. The Justice Department has aggressively sought to expose the alleged data-stealing campaigns through indictments, and made the case that Chinese hackers have robbed American companies of intellectual property, causing huge losses.

McConkey was one of multiple private cyber specialists who exposed the operations, and sometimes the alleged locations, of hackers from China, Iran and elsewhere at a recent conference called LABScon, hosted by US security firm SentinelOne, in Scottsdale, Arizona.

I have seen Kenyans trust some crypto trading companies ‘based in the UK’, operated by Chinese gangs, only to loose their money. Unfortunately, many believed a UK address was a mark of integrity. The Chinese now know to use addresses/contacts in the West for scams.

Not much of an “elite” group if they got spotted. Souns more like you’re teying to stir up a fight. Sorry, not I’m not buying…

Do you have a better source than this or is this just more anti-China propaganda? “According to an expert at consulting giant PricewaterhouseCoopers.”
