(StraightShooterNews.com) – In a massive blow to America’s enemies, the Trump administration has indicted twelve Chinese nationals accused of executing cyberattacks on government systems, including a breach of the US Treasury.

These attacks are said to be backed by China’s public security ministry, shaking the foundation of American cybersecurity and attacking free speech.
The Trump administration announced serious charges against 12 Chinese individuals, linking them to a series of cyberattacks targeting pivotal systems, such as the US Treasury Department.
Key figures, like Yin Kecheng and Zhou Shuai, part of the notorious APT27 hacking group, face allegations stemming from their activities as far back as 2013.
The breaches include notable incidents like the Salt Typhoon infiltration into U.S. telecommunication networks.
The indictment traces some accused hackers to China’s Ministry of Public Security, utilizing a hackers-for-hire strategy to discreetly conduct malicious cyber activities, Politico reports.
Others worked with Anxun Information Technology Co. Ltd., reportedly training MPS officers in advanced hacking practices.
These breaches targeted a range of American institutions, from technological firms to religious organizations.
Significant players like Microsoft, Volexity, PwC, and Mandiant aided U.S. authorities during the investigation.
To counter these attacks, the Treasury Department sanctioned those involved, particularly targeting Zhou and the Shanghai Heiying Information Technology Company.
Notably, the Justice Department charges reveal stolen data was sold not just to fellow hackers, but to entities connected with China’s government.
The web of complicity is clear—cyber warfare is an essential component of Beijing’s strategic aggression.
“The Department of Justice will relentlessly pursue those who threaten our cybersecurity by stealing from our government and our people,” said Sue J. Bai, who heads the DOJ’s National Security Division.
To ensure the safety of national security, the U.S. State Department has tasked itself with offering rewards for any information on these individuals.
This robust measure reflects the gravity of the situation and a commitment to safeguarding free speech and preserving American values.
As FBI Assistant Director Bryan Vorndran remarked, “To those who choose to aid the CCP in its unlawful cyber activities, these charges should demonstrate that we will use all available tools to identify you, indict you, and expose your malicious activity for all the world to see.”
Predictably, Beijing denies these allegations and asserts its opposition to cyberattacks. Yet, the international community remains skeptical.
The indictment provides ample evidence that state-sponsored hacking is a clear and present danger to global security.
The U.S. Department of Justice charged 12 Chinese nationals for cyber intrusion and state-sponsored hacking.
Some were employees of the company Anxun Information Technology or i-Soon.
