'Stone Panda' hackers indicted in campaign that targeted U.S. government networks

The Department of Justice announced criminal charges against two Chinese nationals accused of a years-long campaign to hack U.S. government agencies and private companies around the world in order to steal trade secrets and intellectual property.

The two individuals, identified in court papers as as Zhu Hua and Zhang Shilong, are believed to have operated as members of an advanced persistent threat group tied to the Chinese government, Stone Panda, since at least 2006.

In an indictment unsealed Thursday, the pair are accused of spearphishing campaigns aimed at Navy, Department of Energy and NASA networks, as well as at managed service providers in at least 12 countries. They also targeted companies that work in advanced or emerging technology areas, such as aviation, space and satellite technologies and advanced electronic systems.
