economy. now us officials claim beijing is deploying it cyber force to surpass the united states by stealing industrial secrets from america's biggest companies. ah. i'm john carlin and i served most my career, the justice department when i was a prosecutor, i went to a secure facility is still number going on on the trip where there was a task force how's a both long foresman intelligence. and there was a giant jumbotron screen in the background sizes of a movie, theater type screen. and they were tracking in real time what china,
8:49 am
what chinese threat actors in particular were doing to u. s. companies. and they'd steal the research and development, intellectual property that the trade negotiation strategies from that company. and we want to go back out of the united states and hop back to, to china. so we decided to have a new strategy. ah, this new strategy was announced by then us attorney general airy colder. today we are announcing an indictment against 5 officers of the chinese people's liberation army 4 series of cyber security breaches against 6 american victim companies. we allege that members of unit 61398, conspired to hack into computers of 6 u. s. victims to steal information that would provide an economic advantage to the victim's competitors. well,

8:51 am
it was concerned they were doing in retrospect, i think it was a good. it was a good call for a couple reasons. one, figuring out who did it, and not just generally, that is coming from chinese military intelligence by face by name, who's sitting behind the keyboard, whose fingers are they number to make that public. don't keep it in the shadows anymore. and finally, number 3, imposed consequences. so that this is not cost free to ultimately change the behavior. and i think that came as quite a big shock to the chinese leadership because i don't think they thought of that kind of attribution would be possible that that really did give them pause for thought in 2015 chinese president judging. ping and then us president barack obama made at the white house and pledge to stop using the digital weapons to steal trade secrets from virginia finally about year bulk or
