US Secretary of State Antony Blinken told China's top diplomat Thursday that Washington will hold hackers accountable after he raised alleged breaches of US government agencies, a US official said.
Blinken, in talks in Jakarta with Wang Yi, "made clear that any action that targets US government, US companies, American citizens, is of deep concern to us and that we will take appropriate action to hold those responsible accountable," a senior US official said.
