Security researchers have found that Chinese hackers examined government and businesses’ websites in Alaska for potential vulnerabilities in the weeks surrounding a state trade delegation’s trip to China.
Researchers for the security firm Recorded Future said that they found that hackers working out of China’s Tsinghua University targeted energy and communications firms.
The action took place in the weeks ahead and after state officials went on a trade mission to China in May, led by Alaska Gov. Bill Walker (I).
