The US Justice Department has charged two people in China over their alleged role in a high-profile hacking campaign that started in 2014 and stole reams of people's personal information from multiple companies
Only one of four companies identified as victims in the indictment, the insurance company Anthem, is named. At the time, Anthem's hack was one of the largest of its kind, with nearly 80 million people's information, including birthdays and Social Security Numbers, leaked. The other companies were identified as being in the technology, basic materials and communication services industries.
The Justice Department doesn't accuse either person — Fujie Wang and someone identified only as John Doe — of working for Chinese intelligence services.Cybersecurity experts have long speculated that the campaign against Anthem and others had ties to Chinese intelligence, and was perpetrated by the same actors that hacked OPM. In September, National Security Advisor John Bolton indicated the OPM hack was the work of the Chinese government.
