- The U.S., Japan, Australia, New Zealand, the European Union and NATO on Monday accused China of a “pattern of malicious cyber activity,” linking Beijing to an attack on Microsoft Exchange email servers discovered in March.
- The coordinated response marks a new phase in U.S.-China tensions, with Washington widening its efforts to isolate Beijing over alleged bad behavior.
