The Department of Justice announced earlier this week that a “prolific” Chinese hacker was apprehended on July 3 at the request of the Justice Department on charges of attempting to steal sensitive coronavirus research.
Xu Zewei, 33, of the People’s Republic of China, was charged in a nine-count indictment in the Southern District of Texas, according to the Department of Justice website.
He is accused of carrying out “computer intrusions between February 2020 and June 2021, including the indiscriminate HAFNIUM computer intrusion campaign that compromised thousands of computers worldwide, including in the United States.”
