A House of Commons committee has begun investigating a 2021 cyberattack by a Chinese hacker group targeting parliamentarians.
MPs unanimously voted last month to initiate the inquiry. On June 4, several Commons officials testified about revelations that Chinese cyber threat actors targeted 18 Canadian MPs and senators. This follows a U.S. indictment in March, which charged seven hackers from the group known as APT31. The group has spent more than a decade targeting political and business figures, as well as critics of the Beijing regime, according to the indictment.
