The US Justice Department (DOJ) has charged two Chinese intelligence officers believed to be part of advanced persistent threat group APT10 with allegedly engaging in cyber-espionage and conducting ongoing campaigns targeting the intellectual property of technology-service providers in the US and around the globe, according to The Hill.
Deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein, accompanied by other US officials at the DOJ, reportedly charged the two men, Zhu Hua and Zhang Shilong, with conspiracy to commit computer intrusions, conspiracy to commit wire fraud and aggravated identity theft in alleged cyber-attacks targeted at dozens of private companies and government agencies in the US.
"We want China to cease its illegal cyber activities and honor its commitment to the international community," Rosenstein reportedly said in remarks this morning.
