US charges four Chinese military hackers in 2017 breach of the Equifax credit reporting agency that affected nearly 150 million American citizens

Roughly 147 million people had information, including Social Security numbers, birth dates and driver's license data, compromised by the Equifax breach. "It is reassuring that our federal law enforcement agencies treat cybercrime – especially state-sponsored crime – with the seriousness it deserves," he said in a statement.

Chinese hackers are similarly suspected of being behind a massive breach at hotel group Marriott International Inc. Senator Ben Sasse, a Republican member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, urged tougher action to counter Chinese hacking.

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.....

U.S. charges 4 members of Chinese military in Equifax breachFour Chinese military hackers have been charged with breaking into the computer networks of the Equifax credit reporting firm and stealing the personal information of tens of millions of Americans, the Justice Department announced Monday. Wait, are we trusting our intelligence agencies this week? I haven't gotten word from Dear Leader yet on this one. Why is it always that the left seek to arrest or condemn leftists that are beyond the grasp of our justice system? (It's as if they've been given a warning! At some point in time, the American ppl will get tired of their bullshit and rail at the democratic quidproquo! Not a chance. Equifax is way too suspicious and conniving for this, simply put, it was the American owners who ripped off American customers. To add insult to injury, they then charged to put their wrongs to right.. Ex Equifax employee here, I despise them.
