Mandiant says hacking groups in China are responsible for most of the attacks. They include groups known as “Comment Crew” and “Shanghai Group”. Mandiant also charges that the attacks come from an organization called “Advanced Persistent Threat 1” or “APT1”.
It says “APT1” is a part of the Chinese military, the People’s Liberation Army, Unit 61398.
In addition to companies and banks, the hackers are also reported to strike state, federal and international agencies and organizations. Among the areas targeted are satellites, information technology, telecommunications, aerospace, public administration and scientific research.
But Mandiant also says the Chinese want to find out how to control important parts of the United States’ infrastructure. That includes power grids and other utilities.
China’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei denies Mandiant’s accusations. He says the report is unprofessional and irresponsible. He said the company makes charges without providing evidence.
