Chinese hackers spying on US critical infrastructure, Western intelligence says

Posted on May 25, 2023 by Dissent

Zeba Siddiqui and Christopher Bing report:

A state-sponsored Chinese hacking group has been spying on a wide range of U.S. critical infrastructure organizations, from telecommunications to transportation hubs, Western intelligence agencies and Microsoft (MSFT.O) said on Wednesday.

The espionage has also targeted the U.S. island territory of Guam, home to strategically important American military bases, Microsoft said in a report, adding that “mitigating this attack could be challenging.”

China’s response to the accusations is to claim that this is all a disinformation campaign from Five Eyes countries.
