Two Chinese nationals have been charged with hacking into the computer systems of hundreds of organizations in the U.S. and abroad to steal intellectual property. Prosecutors say the suspects activities included probing for vulnerabilities in systems at companies developing COVID-19 vaccines, treatments and testing technologies.

The hackers stole terabytes of data, posing a sophisticated and prolific threat to US networks.”]
