Four Members of China's Military Indicted Over Massive Equifax Breach

Four members of China's military have been indicted by the U.S. government on charges of hacking into the credit-reporting agency Equifax Inc. and plundering sensitive data on nearly 150 million Americans, the Justice Department said.

A federal grand jury in Atlanta returned a nine-count indictment last week that accused members of China's People's Liberation Army of conspiring to steal reams of data as part of a sophisticated hacking operation that exploited a major vulnerability in the software used by Equifax's online dispute portal.
