A spokesman for the Justice Department said the three Chinese nationals that were hacking Moodys and Siemens were employees of a technology company, BoYu Information Technology Co. in Guangzhou, China but were not in custody. A Journal article on the same subject says the US tried to get China to assist in stopping the three individuals in September but got no response. Subsequent to that, Justice filed charges.
This is partly an outgrowth of the agreement to stop hacking industry targets. The Chinese moved their collection efforts from the military people who got caught, and into portions of the government and govenment companies that were better at hacking and didn’t get caught so often. At least that is what they thought.
The Chinese do not do what they say; they only do what they want. Agreements with the UN or WTO are just pieces of paper that can be ignored. It does no good to make an agreement with a country like that.
