4 Chinese PLA members charged in Equifax data breach
2020-02-11
[Bloomberg] The Department of Justice announced charges Monday against four members of China’s People’s Liberation Army for the 2017 hack of Equifax Inc., a breach that exposed the personal information of about 145 million Americans.

The announcement by Attorney General William Barr follows an indictment in Atlanta accusing the Chinese military personnel of conspiring with each other to hack into Equifax’s network and stealing sensitive data on nearly half of all U.S. citizens.

Wu Zhiyong, Wang Qian, Xu Ke and Liu Lei, who were members of the PLA’s 54th Research Institute, were charged with three counts of conspiracy to commit computer fraud, conspiracy to commit economic espionage and conspiracy to commit wire fraud, authorities said.

#2  Lost in all the hoo-ha about Peach Mint 'n' Wusskies is the massive ChiCom subversion effort across our scientific research community and our tech industry.

Never mind their "Thousand Talents Agents" recruitment program! Nothing to see here. Now back to the ineffable-- well, let's make it F-able-- the effing awfulness of The Orange One.

No ChiComs here, no sir- er mada- er trans-person! Nope.
