Song Wu, a 39-year-old engineer from China, has been indicted on 28 counts including wire fraud and aggravated identity theft for orchestrating a spear-phishing campaign aimed at stealing sensitive software from U.S. government agencies like NASA and the military. Operating from the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), Wu allegedly impersonated U.S. researchers and colleagues in emails sent from 2017 to 2021, successfully obtaining restricted software that could be utilized in military applications, including missile development. U.S. Attorney Ryan Buchanan emphasized that such cyber efforts pose a significant threat to national security and highlighted the commitment of U.S. authorities to prosecute international cyber criminals. The indictment reflects ongoing concerns about foreign espionage targeting American technological advancements. Wu remains at large, and investigations by the FBI and NASA's Office of Inspector General are ongoing. If convicted, he faces decades in prison, with each count of wire fraud carrying a potential 20-year sentence.
