The U.S. Justice Department has charged two Chinese intelligence officers, six hackers, and two aerospace company insiders in a sweeping conspiracy to steal confidential aerospace technology. Two Chinese Ministry of State Security (MSS) spies are said to have run a team of hackers focusing on the theft of designs for a turbofan engine used in commercial airliners. A Chinese state-owned aerospace company was simultaneously working to develop a comparable engine, the DOJ said. The indictment includes intercepted communications between MSS spies and one of the insiders, including repeated mentions of the horse, an alleged reference to Sakula malware.”]
