The FBI and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) are planning to issue a warning accusing China of trying to hack U.S. research of the coronavirus, according to multiple reports.
The public warning is likely to be issued in coming days, officials told The New York Times, which first reported on the warning Sunday.
The draft of the warning claims China is seeking “valuable intellectual property and public health data through illicit means related to vaccines, treatments and testing,†according to the Times.
I realize China (and Russia, and Iran, and etc.) are always trying to get secret info from the US, but that they would target this area indicates a need. And if China needs it, things are probably going less well there than they admit.
