The U.S. Department of Justice has indicted 12 Chinese nationals, including officials and contractors, over a cyber intrusion campaign.
The indictment alleges that the Chinese contractor, Anxun Information Technology Co. Ltd., executed cyberattacks on behalf of government ministries while also selling stolen information for profit.
The malicious actors targeted U.S. government agencies, religious organizations, human rights groups, journalists, and foreign ministries of multiple Asian nations.
The Justice Department seized internet domains and server accounts used by the accused to disrupt their operational infrastructure.
