Abstract

The article discusses an indictment in the Eastern District of New York that accuses seven Chinese hackers of targeting foreign entities critical of China. The hackers, known as "APT31," allegedly acted on behalf of national and provincial foreign intelligence agencies, targeting individuals and companies in the US government and private sector. The indictment reveals that the hackers used methods such as malicious emails and zero-day exploits. Additionally, the article mentions Mexico's application to the International Court of Justice, claiming that Ecuador violated the inviolability of a diplomatic mission by forcibly entering the Mexican Embassy in Quito and arresting former Vice President Jorge Glas, who had sought asylum in Mexico.
