Equifax: US charges four Chinese military officers over huge hack:
The US has charged four Chinese military officers over the huge cyber-attack of credit rating giant Equifax.
More than 147 million Americans were affected in 2017 when hackers stole sensitive personal data including names and addresses.
[...]Announcing the indictments, Attorney General William Barr called the hack "one of the largest data breaches in history".
According to court documents, the four are allegedly members of the People's Liberation Army's 54th Research Institute, a component of the Chinese military.
They spent weeks in the company's system, breaking into security networks and stealing personal data, the documents said.
The nine-count indictment also accuses the group of stealing trade secrets including data compilation and database designs.
