Chinese hackers were behind the Marriott security breach that left the personal information of up to 500 million hotel guests exposed, investigators have concluded, The New York Times reported on Tuesday.
The hack was part of an intelligence-gathering effort by China that affected millions more Americans, sources familiar with the investigation told the Times. Investigators suspect that the hackers were working for the Chinese Ministry of State Security.
U.S. intelligence has concluded that, since 2014, Chinese hackers have been working to build a database that includes the names of U.S. executives and government officials who have security clearances, government officials told the newspaper.
