Professor of Law Emeritus William C. Banks contributed to the Newsweek article “Cybersecurity Experts Explain Why China’s Alleged U.S. Treasury Hack Is a Big Deal”.
In his commentary, Banks states that “The Chinese hack of the U.S. treasury is likely just another step in the escalating cyber conflict between the U.S. and China. It is noteworthy that the U.S. was able to openly attribute the hack to a Chinese state sponsor—attribution is not typically straightforward, and our adversaries work hard to cover their tracks.”
