Chinese Military Hackers Charged in Equifax Breach

US Attorney General William Barr called the hack "one of the largest data breaches in history".

Chinese Military Hackers Charged in Equifax Breach
Intrusion Affected Nearly Half of All Americans.

U.S. Department of Justice announced charges against four Chinese military-backed hackers in connection with carrying out the 2017 cyberattack against Equifax, a consumer credit reporting agency. The intrusion led to the largest known theft of personally identifiable information ever carried out by state-sponsored actors.

Investigators had previously discovered and announced the type of malware that allowed the hackers to harvest addresses, birth dates, Social Security numbers, and other data on approximately 145 million Americans. Today’s indictment charges that members of the People’s Liberation Army—the armed forces of the People’s Republic of China—were behind that malware attack.

“We in law enforcement will not let hackers off the hook just because they’re halfway around the world.” FBI Deputy Director David Bowdich said.





Honesty is the best policy.

PLA is the abbreviation of "People's Liberation Army" 中国人民解放军. CCP fully controls this military.
