China’s national cyber incident response center has accused the U.S. government of conducting cyberattacks against two Chinese tech companies, allegedly aimed at stealing trade secrets. In a related development, the U.S. government has charged a China-based hacker for exploiting a zero-day vulnerability, highlighting ongoing tensions in cybersecurity between the two nations. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and the FBI are among the agencies responding to the Salt Typhoon cyberattack, which has prompted increased scrutiny of cybersecurity practices.
