The US Department of Justice has indicted 12 Chinese individuals for alleged hacker intrusions over more than a decade.
The indicted individuals include eight i-Soon contractors, two Ministry of Public Security officials, and two hackers from the group APT27, or Silk Typhoon.
The group targeted various US and foreign government agencies, Chinese dissidents, US-based media outlets, and breached the US Treasury in 2020.
The hackers operated with autonomy, selecting targets themselves and selling stolen information to Chinese government clients.
