Garland said in a statement. \u201cThis case serves as a reminder of the ends to which the Chinese government is willing to go to target and intimidate its critics, <\/p>\n<p>In conjunction with the indictment, the U.S. Treasury Department levied sanctions against a Wuhan-based technology company, Wuhan XRZ, believed to have carried out operations on behalf of a hacking group cybersecurity firms track as APT31. The Treasury Department also sanctioned two individuals linked to the firm\u2019s operations targeting U.S. critical infrastructure. The U.S. State Department announced a reward of up to $10 million for information on the group.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Monday\u2019s indictment and sanctions came in conjunction with moves by officials in the United Kingdom to sanction Chinese hacking groups that targeted Britain\u2019s election infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. government describes Wuhan XRZ as a front company used by the Chinese Ministry of State Security to carry out espionage and other cyber operations tracked for years by researchers and governments under the APT31 moniker.<\/p>\n<p>APT31 is \u201ca collection of Chinese state-sponsored intelligence officers, contract hackers, and support staff that conduct malicious cyber operations on behalf of the Hubei State Security Department (HSSD),\u201d the <a href=\"https:\/\/home.treasury.gov\/news\/press-releases\/jy2205\">U.S. Treasury Department said<\/a> in a statement published Monday. <\/p>\n<p>According to the Treasury Department, APT31\u2019s targets include high-ranking U.S. government officials and their advisers; national security staff at the White House; officials at the departments of Justice, Commerce, Treasury and State; Democratic and Republican members of Congress; staffers of political campaigns; and institutions of higher education linked to the U.S. military. <\/p>\n<p>In a statement Monday, Liu Pengyu, a spokesperson for China\u2019s embassy in Washington, said that American officials\u2019 accusations are \u201cextremely irresponsible\u201d and \u201ca complete distortion of facts.\u201d <\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cWithout valid evidence, the U.S. jumped to an unwarranted conclusion and made groundless accusations against China,\u201d Liu said, adding that \u201cChina is a major victim of cyberattacks\u201d and that \u201cthe U.S. itself is the origin and the biggest perpetrator of cyberattacks.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Experts said Monday\u2019s move by the Biden administration represented the latest in a string by Washington to combat China\u2019s efforts to control speech and intimidate dissidents far beyond its borders.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis indictment follows many others that document China\u2019s efforts to oppress people overseas and in the U.S.,\u201d said Dakota Carey, China-focused consultant for the cybersecurity firm SentinelOne. \u201cIt is incredibly important that the U.S. defend the liberties of people residing in the U.S. from foreign oppressions. It\u2019s what stops the U.S. from becoming like China.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>U.K. officials also accused Chinese hackers of targeting British politics on Monday. In a speech, Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden accused Chinese-linked hackers of being behind a 2021 hack of the Electoral Commission that pilfered data on 40 million registered U.K. voters and a separate campaign that same year targeting email accounts belonging to three members of the British Parliament who are critical of China. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the latest of a clear pattern of hostile activity originating in China, including the targeting of democratic institutions and parliamentarians in the United Kingdom and beyond,\u201d Dowden said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>At a press conference Monday, the targeted members of Parliament \u2014 the Conservatives, Tories Iain Duncan Smith and Tim Loughton, as well as Stewart McDonald, a member of the Scottish National Party \u2014 described the operation against them as part of a broader effort by the Chinese government to target British and Western society, and called for the U.K. government to \u201creset\u201d its relations with China.<\/p>\n<p>The operation against the members was attributed to APT31, while the Electoral Commission hack was attributed more generally to Chinese-linked hackers.<\/p>\n<p>An<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncsc.gov.uk\/news\/china-state-affiliated-actors-target-uk-democratic-institutions-parliamentarians\"> assessment<\/a> by Britain\u2019s National Cyber Security Centre concluded that APT31 was \u201calmost certainly\u201d behind the attempted email hacks, describing them as part of Beijing\u2019s \u201creconnaissance activity\u201d and that they were blocked by Parliament\u2019s security department. Meanwhile, the Electoral Commission hack was attributed only to \u201ca China state-affiliated actor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>APT31 operations have been the subject of detailed analysis by <a href=\"https:\/\/thehackernews.com\/2023\/08\/researchers-shed-light-on-apt31s.html\">security<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.securityweek.com\/chinese-cyberspy-group-apt31-starts-targeting-russia\/\">researchers<\/a> for years. Last year, for instance, <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/tag\/intrusion-truth\/\">Intrusion Truth<\/a>, an anonymous group of researchers with a track record of publishing highly detailed information on Chinese cyber operations, reported on a series of links between specific people tied to APT31, the business fronts, and links to the Chinese government. <\/p>\n<p>The Electoral Commission breach \u2014 which occurred in 2021, was initially detected in October 2022 and first disclosed in August 2023 \u2014 affected the agency\u2019s file sharing and email systems, giving hackers access to a wealth of personal data on around 40 million registered voters in the U.K. <\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>That information would have included the names and addresses of anyone in Great Britain who registered to vote between 2014 and 2022, Northern Ireland voters who registered to vote in 2018, and information sent to the commission through emails or the contact form on its website.<\/p>\n<p>The Electoral Commission has publicly downplayed the value this kind of information would provide to malicious parties, saying in its initial announcement that much of this data is already in the public domain and that an internal risk assessment determined that \u201cthe personal data held on electoral registers, typically name and address, does not in itself present a high risk to individuals.\u201d While the commission aggregates this data from across Great Britain, voter registration and live voter rolls are managed by local authorities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is possible however that this data could be combined with other data in the public domain, such as that which individuals choose to share themselves, to infer patterns of behaviour or to identify and profile individuals,\u201d the commission said last year.<\/p>\n<p>Jamie MacColl, a research fellow at the Royal United Services Institute, a defense and security think tank based in London, questioned whether the data obtained would provide significant utility. MaColl described the data as \u201chard to exploit\u201d and said that he was skeptical whether the operation described by U.K. officials warranted such a strong response, given that espionage targeting members of national legislatures is commonplace. <\/p>\n<p>MacColl noted, however, that the incident may undermine public faith in the integrity of the attack.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Following the incident, the U.K.\u2019s Electoral Commission acknowledged that it had failed to pass a cybersecurity audit administered by the National Cyber Security Centre. <\/p>\n<p>John Pullinger, chair of the Electoral Commission, said on Monday that the hack \u201cdemonstrates the international threats facing the UK\u2019s democratic process and its institutions\u201d but reiterated that the agency does not believe the hack will have an impact on British elections.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe U.K.\u2019s democratic processes and systems are widely dispersed and their resilience has been strengthened since the attack. Voters have, and should continue to have, high trust in the process of voting,\u201d Pullinger said.<\/p>\n<p><\/body> <\/p>\n<footer class=\"single-article__footer\" readability=\"0.36904761904762\">\n<div class=\"author-card\" readability=\"7\">\n<p><h4 class=\"author-card__name\">Written by AJ Vicens and Derek B.
