WASHINGTON – In the latest to “report and shame” the Chinese government-sponsored cyber theft, the Justice Department on Tuesday announced an indictment accusing two Chinese citizens, whether in China, of hacking governments, dissidents, human rights activists and personal companies. in addition to participating in studies on the COVID-19 vaccine.
According to the formal indictment, the hackers were operating for their own advantages and for China’s main intelligence service, the State Security Ministry. He says they were assisted by an anonymous Chinese intelligence officer known to the grand jury.
At a press convention in Washington, senior Justice Department and FBI officials used some of their most powerful terms to date to condemn China as a dishonest cyber thief, beating China in the same category as Russia, Iran, and North Korea, the government’s top adversaries. United States.
“China is cyber intrusions as a component of its crusade for the development of ‘stealing, reflecting, and replacing,” said John Demers, the deputy general attorney general for national security, who called piracy “another example of China’s bragged willingness to interact in the theft. “PC intrusions in defiance of foreign agreements”.
He added that “China’s anti-competitive behavior … it is a global problem,” and that by allowing pirates to operate safely, “China has now taken its position alongside Russia, Iran, and North Korea on this shameful list of countries” that tolerate crime. piracy within its borders.
FBI Deputy Director David Bowdich added that “the scale and scope of hacking activities sponsored through the (Chinese) intelligence opposed to the United States and our foreign partners are different from any other risks we face today.”
One of the objectives of the accusations, he said, is to “warn Chinese leaders that there are serious consequences and dangers from the theft of our technological and intellectual property.”
China has denied doing this.
The deployment of high-profile accusations is the latest example of how U.S. national security officials find it useful to publicize their crusade against Chinese piracy after years of more common fights in the scenes.
In 2012, the former chief of the National Security Agency called cyber theft, basically across China, the largest wealth movement in history.
In 2015, President Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping signed an agreement not to borrow intellectual assets from others, but after a brief era of inactivity, Chinese cyber theft exploded when President Trump tried to take strong action against Chinese industry practices, officials said. .

“We don’t have a cybersecurity challenge, we have a challenge with China, Russia, Iran and North Korea,” said Dmitri Alperovitch, president of Silverado Policy Accelerator, a Washington expert group.

The hackers named in Tuesday’s indictment have been operating since 2009, according to court documents. It’s unbelievable that they ever see the inside of an American court.
The grand jury indictment indicted Li Xiaoyu, 34, and Dong Jiazhi, 33, for conducting a piracy crusade of more than 10 years of corporations in the United States, Australia, Belgium, Germany, Japan, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Spain, South Korea, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
“Hackers stole terabytes of knowledge that posed a complicated and prolific risk to American networks,” a Justice Department said.
According to the formal indictment, the hackers were operating for their own advantages and for China’s main intelligence service, the State Security Ministry.
Targets included high-tech brands, medical device brands, civil and commercial engineers, gaming software brands, solar energy companies; pharmaceutical brands and defense contractors.
The indictment states that the hackers searched for data similar to the COVID-19 investigation, however, claims they received it.
Among the thirteen American victims were: a California-based generation and defense company, a Maryland generation and production company, the DOE Hanford site in Washington, a Texas engineering company, a defense contractor in Virginia, a Massachusetts software company, a game software company in California, and several U.S. drug manufacturers.
The court documents imply that the hackers “looked for vulnerabilities in paintings of biotechnology networks and other corporations known publicly for their paintings on vaccines, remedies and COVID-19 test technology, but does not say they have been given any.
The hackers tried to obtain cryptocurrencies from a victim, the Justice Department said, threatening to reveal the victim’s stolen code on the Internet.
“More recently, defendants have investigated the vulnerabilities of corporate computer networks that are creating COVID-19 vaccines, technologies and treatments.”
