(Worthy News) – Federal authorities on Wednesday announced three indictments charging five Chinese nationals and two Malaysians with conducting criminal and political hacking operations tacitly approved by the Chinese government and linked to the Ministry of State Security intelligence service.
The hackers are accused of global cyber operations against networks in the United States, including for the first time systems used by video game companies, a billion-dollar industry.
Other targets included software development companies, computer hardware manufacturers, telecommunications providers, social media companies, non-profit organizations, universities, think tanks and foreign governments, the Justice Department said in unsealing the indictments. The hackers also were charged with targeting pro-democracy politicians and activists in Hong Kong, a major target of Chinese intelligence seeking to neutralize democratic opposition in the former British colony.
