4 Chinese military hackers indicted in the US for allegedly hacking into Equifax and 'for stealing the sensitive personal information' of nearly 150,000,000 Americans, AG Barr announces.

"This was a deliberate and sweeping intrusion into the private information of the American people," Barr said.

Equifax disclosed the breach in September 2017, setting off a cascade of criticism over its security practices and response to the hack. Then-CEO Richard Smith resigned ahead of congressional hearings as the scandal deepened. The credit-reporting company later agreed to payAccording to the indictment, the hackers gained entry to the Equifax network on March 7, 2017.

Using this vulnerability, the four officers then allegedly uploaded software which allowed them to conduct reconnaissance of Equifax’s web systems and give them access to login credentials.

Can we even trust what that criminal is saying? He tells us they were hacking Equifax - how can we be sure they’re not hostages they’ve taken and the hacker story is a cover?

Could have been some fat guy also.

Why not hold China responsible for that?

Resign AG Barr! You are the worst threat to our national security!

With AGs like Barr who needs the Chinese and Russians

I will be doing a video on cybercrime soon

the only thing i want to hear Barr or any other GOP say is i quit ..period..

Shoot them. Spy’s

The numbers sound low. Did they take Bloomberg’s info? Oh, he’s probably not in the database - he is his own credit monitor.

Yet, senatemajldr McConnell will do nothing to protect election hacking or fraud. What does his wife the Secretary of Transportation know about this?

polictical tricks, true or false? I don't believe this, this is just slander. those political villains, so bad. lol

How about looking into Russian hackers too Barr or are they ok because they are working to keep your buddy in office

Pathetic that it is hard to believe anything that he says, including this.

4 Chinese military hackers indicted in the US for allegedly hacking into Equifax and 'for stealing the sensitive personal information' The only thing that will happen is they will get some medal in China..

More Chinese Communist Party spies, which have to be rooted out.

Mitch McConnell has on his desk a bipartisan bill to stop cyber attacks, but he refuses to put it on the Senate floor because Democrats have been involved. If you think Trump is evil, McConnell is Satan's right hand man!

Barr will protect us. Donald says we can flip a few misses.

'Indicted' is meaningless. 'Arrested' means they have BODIES and bringing them before a judge. This is all just talk.....
