Chinese Hackers Target US Cancer Research: Cybersecurity Report

Chinese hacker groups are targeting U.S. cancer research institutes as the regime looks to solve the problem of increasing cancer deaths in the country, according to a report released on Aug. 21.

In recent years, Chinese hackers linked to the regime have attacked organizations involved in cancer research on multiple occasions, according to the report by California-based cybersecurity firm FireEye.

The cyberattacks, the report stated, likely flow from the regime's desire to find a cure for the disease‐the country's No. 1 killer‐and, in turn, stave off its attendant social costs.

"It is likely that an area of unique interest is cancer-related research, reflective of China's growing concern over increasing cancer and mortality rates, and the accompanying national health care costs," the report stated.
