China has arrested the individuals it says are responsible for the mega-breach of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) in June, according to The Washington Post, citing anonymous U.S. officials.
Previously, in October, after U.S. officials named three Chinese state-owned companies they believe benefited from cybertheft of intellectual property, China arrested a group of hackers in connection with a 2014 cyberespionage campaign against U.S. companies. The hackers were arrested at the request of the U.S. government, the Post reported at the time.
China now says the same group hackers arrested for the campaign against U.S. companies also hacked the OPM. One of the U.S. officials told the Post, “We don’t know that if the arrests the Chinese purported to have made are the guilty parties.”
The official China noted China’s history “of people being arrested for things they didn’t do” or politically-motivated “crimes against the state.” For the full article click here
