Justice Department Charges 12 Chinese Contract Hackers and Law Enforcement Officers in Global Computer Intrusion Campaigns
Briefly

Recent announcements reveal a coordinated effort by U.S. agencies to combat cyber threats from a network of Chinese hackers, including the 'APT 27' group. These operatives, connected to the Chinese government, targeted dissidents, government agencies, and organizations worldwide, with financial support from China's Ministry of Public Security. The Justice Department emphasized its commitment to exposing and dismantling this dangerous cyber ecosystem and protecting national security. The move illustrates ongoing tensions between the U.S. and China's cyber operations, which threaten freedom of speech and global cybersecurity.
The Department of Justice will relentlessly pursue those who threaten our cybersecurity by stealing from our government and our people, exposing Chinese agents' reckless cyberattacks.
The FBI is committed to protecting Americans from foreign cyber-attacks, and we are collaborating with our partners to target these malicious cyber actors to secure our networks.
