A hacking group associated with the Chinese Communist Party<\/a> reportedly stole at least $20 million from the US government via exploiting COVID-19 relief funds.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Secret Service<\/a> claims the group, known as APT41, obtained the illicit payouts via Small Business Administration loans and unemployment insurance.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Secret Service refrained from offering precise details in a statement to NBC News, but stated that there are at least 1,000 open investigations into instances of international and domestic attempts to defraud the US government via COVID-19 programs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The organization told NBC that APT41 is a “notable player” in the flurry of fraud attempts<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Chinese Communist Party has denied any involvement.<\/p>\n

Auditors say the speed with which federal emergency loan programs were set up in the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic<\/u><\/a> in 2020 left the programs vulnerable to fraud, though millions of legitimate businesses benefited from the programs.<\/p>\n

“There\u2019s no doubt they\u2019ve had a positive impact. However, the management of these programs needs to be dramatically improved,” U.S. Comptroller General Gene L. Dodaro said last year.<\/p>\n

Last month, FBI Director Christopher Wray stated in no uncertain terms that when it comes to threats to the United States in areas such as national security<\/u><\/a> and the economy, China is by far the most serious.<\/p>\n

In testimony before the Senate Homeland Security Committee<\/a>, Wray outlined how the Chinese Communist Party is targeting the U.S.<\/p>\n

“The greatest long-term threat to our nation’s ideas, innovation and economic security, our national security, is that from China,” Wray said. “The Chinese government aspires to equal or surpass the U.S. as a global superpower and influence the world with a value system shaped by undemocratic, authoritarian ideals.”<\/p>\n
