China has reportedly detained the hackers responsible for the breaching the database of the US Office of Personal Management in June this year. The breach allegedly exposed sensitive data of over 20 million former and current federal employees. This is the first time that the People's Republic has admitted that the masterminds behind the breach are Chinese, but the government insists it did not sanction the hacking.
