The Biden administration has formally accused hackers affiliated with China’s Ministry of State Security (MSS) of exploiting Microsoft Exchange Server vulnerabilities in a massive cyberattack.
The United States government teamed up with the European Union, the United Kingdom and NATO to condemn China’s malicious cyber activities, which include ransomware operations against private companies with multi-million-dollar ransom demands. But unlike what Russia faced following the SolarWinds attack, the U.S. stopped short of issuing any sanctions or formal punishment against China.
“No one action can change China’s behavior in cyberspace and neither can just one country acting on its own,” a senior Biden administration official said during a background press call. “We really focused initially in bringing other countries along with us … And we’re not ruling out further actions to hold the PRC [People’s Republic of China] accountable.”
