DOJ Charges 4 Chinese Military Hackers In Equifax Breach
The Department of Justice has charged four Chinese military hackers with breaching the computer networks of the Equifax credit reporting agency - accessing the personal information of tens of millions of Americans.
In addition, the four are accused of stealing Equifax trade secrets, according to the Associated Press.
“This was a deliberate and sweeping intrusion into the private information of the American people,” said Attorney General William Barr in a statement, adding “Today, we hold PLA hackers accountable for their criminal actions, and we remind the Chinese government that we have the capability to remove the Internet’s cloak of anonymity and find the hackers that nation repeatedly deploys against us.”
