In December 2018, the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) announced charges against two Chinese nationals who worked for the Chinese cyber group APT-10. The prosecutors accused the hackers of infiltrating corporate and government technology, including a major Department of Energy laboratory. The charges highlight PRC efforts to steal commercial data from U.S. companies, including “banking and finance, telecommunications and consumer electronics, medical equipment, packaging, manufacturing, consulting, healthcare, biotechnology, automotive, oil and gas exploration, and mining.”
