Chinese malware broker Yu Pingan, who was accused of providing malware linked to some of the most notorious cyber attacks of the decade, is back in China teaching a course in internet security, Reuters has found
SHANGHAI - A Chinese malware broker who was sentenced in the United States this year for dealing in malicious software linked to major hacks is back at his old workplace: teaching high-school computer courses, including one on internet security.
Qualcomm declined to comment. A Riot Games spokesman said the company lost no data. Pacific Scientific didn’t respond to requests for comment. His prosecution was one of a series of criminal cases against Chinese nationals Washington has brought in recent years, in response to what the Americans say is a concerted campaign by China’s military and security ministry to steal technology from Western companies.
In addition to jail time, Yu was ordered to pay nearly $1.1 million in restitution to five companies that were victims of the hacking. The fine was to be paid in installments of $100 a month, with no interest, according to the judgment. The payment schedule would take more than 900 years to complete.
Yu, according to court filings by U.S. prosecutors, went by the nickname “Goldsun.” He was accused of conspiring with other Chinese individuals to use malware to hack into the computer networks of companies in the U.S. and elsewhere. Last month, Reuters found Yu, who is 39, teaching at Shanghai Commercial School, a state-run vocational technical high school in central Shanghai. U.S. officials told Reuters that Yu had been teaching there prior to his arrest.
