Four Chicoms Indicted Over Equifax Hack

The US Justice Department has announced today that they have issued indictments for four Chinese military officers for their role in the hack of credit company Equifax in 2017, as explained in this article.



This wanted poster, provided by the FBI, can no doubt be seen in US Post Offices across the fruited plain. The 54th Research Institute of CETC is located at:

No. 589 West Zhongshan Road
Shijiazhuang, Hebei, 050081
China

If you happen to be in that neighborhood and spot one of these devils, be sure to notify local law enforcement and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. 

While indicting members of a foreign military that are unlikely to ever be apprehended or tried seems to be a ridiculous and meaningless maneuver, it does make some sense. They are being considered not as soldiers engaged in combat against the US but as criminals violating US laws. Ergo, there's no justification in dropping nuclear warheads on China or sinking their only aircraft carrier. At the same time, the US is making it known that it is aware of the identity of the guilty parties, although these parties are at too low a level in the chain of command to initiate this crime. It's implied that others more important are guilty as well. 

This is the same technique that was used in indicting Russian hackers for forcing the US electorate to vote Trump into the presidency.
