The US government has released images of seven alleged Chinese hackers wanted on charges of infiltrating the communications of targets in Britain and America over a 14-year period.
In a newly unsealed indictment, the Department of Justice (DoJ) accused the men of taking part in a state-sponsored hacking ring, known to US authorities as APT 31 or by the codename “Violet Typhoon”.
The documents lay bare the scale of China’s illicit incursion into Western public life, through the use of malicious emails designed to harvest data on their targets.
