The US has charged four Chinese military officers over the huge cyber-attack of credit rating giant Equifax.
More than 147 million Americans were affected in 2017 when hackers stole sensitive personal data including names and addresses.
Some UK and Canadian customers were also affected.
Announcing the indictments Attorney General William Barr called the hack "one of the largest data breaches in history".
According to court documents, the four are allegedly members of the People's Liberation Army's 54th Research Institute, a component of the Chinese military.
