The Biden administration is gearing up to publicly accuse several Chinese hackers of conducting extensive hacks against US companies on behalf of China’s civilian intelligence service. This multi-agency crackdown is anticipated to involve criminal charges, sanctions, and a substantial reward for information on the hackers, who are believed to be operating under the direction of China’s Ministry of State Security spy agency.
An official announcement identifying the hackers with names and photos is expected imminently. These hackers have reportedly been using a Chinese technology company as a front to mask their hacking activities. Additionally, the British government is also preparing to accuse the hacking group of targeting organizations in the UK.
