PENNSYLVANIA<\/strong> \u00a0— A federal grand jury indicted five Chinese military hackers for computer hacking, economic espionage and other offenses aimed at six American victims in the U.S. power, metals and solar products industries, \u00a0the federal government announced today.<\/p>\n

The indictment <\/a>alleges that the defendants conspired to hack into American entities, to maintain unauthorized access to their computers and to steal information from those entities that would be useful to their competitors in China, including state-owned enterprises, officials said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a case alleging economic espionage by members of the Chinese military and represents the first ever charges against a state actor for this type of hacking,\u201d U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said at a press conference<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Adding, \u201cThe range of trade secrets and other sensitive business information stolen in this case is significant and demands an aggressive response. Success in the global market place should be based solely on a company\u2019s ability to innovate and compete, not on a sponsor government\u2019s ability to spy and steal business secrets. This Administration will not tolerate actions by any nation that seeks to illegally sabotage American companies and undermine the integrity of fair competition in the operation of the free market.\u201d<\/p>\n
