The Biden administration, joined by allies and partners, on Monday blamed China for the hack of Microsoft Exchange email server software that compromised tens of thousands of computers around the world earlier this year.
for the hack of Microsoft Exchange email server software that compromised tens of thousands of computers around the world earlier this year.
The Microsoft Exchange hack was first identified in January and was attributed to Chinese cyber spies by private sector groups. An administration official said the government’s attribution to hackers affiliated with China’s Ministry of State Security took until now in part because of the discovery of the ransomware and for-profit hacking operations and because the administration wanted to pair the announcement with guidance for businesses about tactics that the Chinese have been using.
Meanwhile, a senior administration official said the National Security Agency, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security agency and the FBI, will expose more than 50 tactics, techniques and procedures that Chinese state-sponsored cyber actors used when targeting U.S. and allied networks, along with advice for technical mitigations to confront this threat.
Meanwhile, the Justice Department on Monday announced charges against four Chinese nationals who prosecutors said were working with the Ministry of State Security in a hacking campaign that targeted dozens of computer systems, including companies, universities and government entities.
