{The United States is issuing a fresh warning about alleged Chinese government hacking attempts on American companies.}<\/p>\n
In an alert Wednesday, the FBI warned U.S. businesses about a group of “state-sponsored hackers” it believes routinely steals high-value information through cyber espionage.<\/p>\n
The nine-page report, issued to companies privately, noted that other security firms have recently identified other hacking attempts by the group in question.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, a coalition of security companies announced a collaborative effort to help detect and prevent hacking attempts by the Chinese group, dubbed “Hidden Lynx.”<\/p>\n
The group is believed to be behind a massive 2009 hacking attempt known as “Operation Aurora,” which targeted several major U.S. companies, including Google.<\/p>\n
Washington has long said Chinese cyber theft has threatened U.S. defense secrets, hurt American companies’ competitiveness on the global market, and cost American workers jobs.<\/p>\n
But until recent months, U.S. officials had been reluctant to directly accuse the Chinese military of involvement in the hacking.<\/p>\n
In May, the United States indicted five Chinese military members on charges of hacking into and stealing trade secrets from the computers of several large American nuclear, metal and solar companies.<\/p>\n
China has angrily denied the accusations, saying it is the victim of U.S. spying.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
