Chinese hackers have attacked at least two dozen U.S. and global universities in an effort to steal military maritime technology secrets.
Major universities in Hawaii, Washington, and Massachusetts are just a few of the targets identified in a hacking campaign that spans back to April 2017, according to iDefense research obtained by The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday.
iDefense, the cybersecurity research group of Accenture Security, is slated to publish a research report this week that details the growing Chinese cyberattacks on sensitive military and economic intelligence.
