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.”

U.S. Secretary of State
Antony Blinken said that the hackers were working for China s Ministry of State Security and said the agency has fostered an ecosystem of criminal contract hackers who carry out both state-sponsored activities and cybercrime for their own financial gain. These contract hackers cost governments and businesses billions of dollars in stolen intellectual property, ransom payments, and cybersecurity mitigation efforts, all while the MSS had them on its payroll, Blinken said.
Security officials said that cyberattacks targeted tens of thousands of computers and impacted both private companies and government agencies.
