Song Wu allegedly stole source code and proprietary software
The US Department of Justice (DoJ) accused a Chinese national, named Song Wu, of stealing sensitive information and proprietary software from NASA and other high-profile government and private organizations in the United States.
In a press release published on the DoJ website, the organization noted Wu was working at the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC) as an engineer. AVIC is the country’s aerospace and defense conglomerate.
While employed at AVIC, between 2017 and 2021, he was sending phishing emails to people working at NASA, the Air Force, Navy, and Army, the Federal Aviation Administration, as well as people working at universities in Georgia, Michigan, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Indiana, and Ohio.
