💨 Abstract

A Chinese citizen, Xu Zewei, was arrested in Italy on U.S. charges of state-sponsored hacking. The U.S. alleges he targeted COVID-19 research and exploited vulnerabilities in Microsoft email software. Xu denies the allegations, claiming mistaken identity. His arrest follows a nine-count indictment unsealed in Texas, alleging involvement in cyber-intrusions between 2020 and 2021.
