Hackers for the Chinese government targeted email accounts of political dissidents and US officials.
In an indictment unsealed on Monday, the US government said that seven Chinese nationals were charged with conspiracy to committee computer intrusions and conspiracy to commit wire fraud.
Law enforcement said the hackers were part of a China-based group that targeted “thousands of U.S. and foreign individuals and companies” over 14 years.
