Chinese Military Attacks On USA
A Chinese building used by the military is at the root of computer attacks made on United States companies. The security company Mandiant was hired to trace the attacks being made on several U.S. firms. The tracking led to the Chinese military unit within the 2nd Bureau of the People’s Liberation Army General Staff Department’s 3rd Department, going by the designation “Unit 61398.”
The Whitehouse said, “We have repeatedly raised our concerns at highest levels about cyber-theft with senior Chinese officials, including the military, and we will continue to do so. It’s an important challenge, one the president has been working on and urging Congress to work on for quite some time. The United States and China are among the world’s largest cyber-actors, so it’s critical.”
