‘Stop your cyber intrusion & surveillance,’ China tells US after indictment of Chinese military in Equifax hack
The Chinese government denied any involvement in the Equifax hack, saying its civilian and military personnel “never engage in cyber theft of trade secrets,” according to Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang.
The official said Chinese entities often become victims of “cyber intrusion, surveillance and monitoring activities” by the US government.
The US considers China a strategic rival and has been ramping up pressure against it on many fronts in the last several years. Monday’s indictments identify the alleged military hackers by name, which is a rare occurrence which observers say is a sign of an increasingly tense confrontation between Washington and Beijing.
