The US Grand Jury has accused five Chinese individuals of cyber espionage, targeting six American companies and apparently stealing trade secrets. The US Justice Department publicly reported this. The Chinese Hackers were targeting nuclear, solar and metals industries, trying to steal useful information. The reported was made Monday morning. Some of the companies targeted were United States Steel Corp, Alcoa Inc, and a few others. We are currently awaiting on more details in a news conference with Attorney General Eric Holder and other US officials. They were pretty concerned about the hacking, especially since it's from China. The FBI said to expect more of this kind of cyber behavior.
