Report Ties More Chinese Hackers to U.S. Attacks

Just weeks after the Justice Department indicted five members of the Chinese army, accusing them of online attacks on United States corporations, a new report from CrowdStrike offers more evidence of the breadth and ambition of China’s campaign to steal trade and military secrets from foreign victims. The report, parts of which The New York Times was able to corroborate independently, ties attacks against dozens of public and private sector organizations back to a group of Shanghai-based hackers whom CrowdStrike called Putter Panda because they often targeted golf-playing conference attendees.
