This is the best summary I could come up with:

The Biden administration on Monday announced a criminal indictment and sanctions against multiple Chinese hackers for allegedly conducting sweeping hacks against US companies and government officials on behalf of China’s civilian intelligence service.

The hackers targeted “some of America’s most vital critical infrastructure sectors,” including a defense contractor that made flight simulators for the US military, the US Treasury Department said while announcing sanctions against two of the men.

Over the course of just a few months in 2018, the hackers sent more than 10,000 malicious emails to senior US officials (and their advisers) in the White House, Justice Department and other agencies, and to Democratic and Republican senators in more than 10 states, according to the indictment.

“Without valid evidence, the US jumped to an unwarranted conclusion and made groundless accusations against China,” Liu Pengyu, a spokesperson for the Chinese Embassy in Washington, DC, said in a statement to CNN responding to the US announcement.

Ahead of the 2020 US election, hackers associated with the group had unsuccessfully tried to break into email accounts of people affiliated with the Biden campaign, according to Microsoft.

Monday’s announcement isn’t the first time the Chinese government’s extensive cyber capabilities have been traced back to contractors working for front companies.
