US and allies blame China for Microsoft Exchange cyberattacks

Beijing has been accused of a range of cyberattacks

The alliance against China

The EU, UK, Japan, Canada, Australia, New Zealand all joined the US in condemning Chinesehacking.

NATO was more circumspect in its message. The military alliance said it acknowledged the national statements attributing the compromise to the PRC:

The announcements are part of a push from the US to build multilateral pressure on China.

Relations between the countries have been strained by disputes over trade, control of the South China Sea, the crackdown on democracy in Hong Kong, and the treatment of Uyghurs in Xinjiang.

The coordinated accusations of state-sponsored hacking could escalate the tensions.
