US Charges Chinese Hacker For 2015 Anthem Breach
The US Department of Justice charged this week a Chinese national for his role as a member of an elite Chinese hacking group that breached at least four US companies, including Indianapolis-based health insurer Anthem Inc. in 2015. From a report: The DOJ indictment, unsealed today, names Fujie Wang, 32, as one of the group's members. According to court documents, Wang and the other hackers typically operated using spear-phishing to trick employees into installing malware on their computers. Once the group infected an employee, they used the malware to escalate access to other systems inside a victim company's network until they found and stole data of interest -- such as personally identifiable information (PII) and confidential business information. US investigators said the group operated between February 2014 and January 2015. The DOJ only named Anthem in the court documents and did not disclose the names the three other companies hacked by Wang and his co-conspirators during this span.Read more of this story at Slashdot.
