Chinese Hackers Continue To Target US Firms Despite Cybersecurity Agreement
Hackers linked to China attempted to violate a cybersecurity agreement between Washington and Beijing just a day after the leaders of the two nations announced the deal, according to a newly published analysis by an American cybersecurity firm.
CrowdStrike Inc. -- a company with close ties to the U.S. government -- also claimed that in the three weeks since the deal was finalized, U.S. companies continued to face repeated, albeit unsuccessful, intrusions from China-linked hackers.
“We assess with a high degree of confidence that these intrusions were undertaken by a variety of different Chinese actors, including Deep Panda, which CrowdStrike has tracked for many years breaking into national-security targets of strategic importance to China, as well as commercial industries such as Agriculture, Chemical, Financial, Healthcare, Insurance, Legal, Technology and many others,” the company said, in its report released Monday.
