BEIJING: China-linked hackers posed the biggest espionage threat to technology companies over the past year, CrowdStrike, a cybersecurity firm, said in a report published on Tuesday, amid surging investment in artificial intelligence. The hacking campaigns align with the Chinese government’s strategic priorities and a sustained interest in technology development, intellectual property, and information with strategic and economic value, the firm said.
