Chinese End Hacking Hiatus

Chinese hackers associated with the PLA (People's Liberation Army) had dialed back their cyberattacks in the wake of US protests. This hiatus appears to have ended.

An embarrassing public exposure of a unit closely associated with the PLA had led to a temporary decrease in attacks. The Chinese government appears to have calculated that the downside of the publicity surrounding the attacks is outweighed by the benefits they are reaping.

This is likely to be a ongoing feature of the online world.
