The first parts of this administration outreach effort called “Know the Risk, Raise Your Shield,” focused mainly on federal workers. The new phase follows a series of cases announced by the U.S. government against individuals and firms for allegedly stealing government secrets and proprietary information from U.S. companies for China’s benefit.
Nine cases announced since July 2018 included the unsealing last month of an indictment of two alleged hackers linked to China’s main spy agency on charges that they stole confidential government and corporate data. The pair allegedly belonged to a hacking ring known as APT 10.
Evanina said the new campaign also focuses on what he called Moscow’s “aggressive, persistent attacks” on computer networks of critical U.S. infrastructure, which includes power grids and communications, financial and transportation systems.
