China isn't taking accusations that it's connected to the recent hack of US government employee data lying down. "We have noticed that the US is still investigating, but feels that China is responsible," Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Lu Kang said at a recent general briefing. "This is absurd logic." This wouldn't be the first time the US has pointed the finger at China -- it was also suspected to be behind last year's major USPS hack, among many other instances over the years. The most recent hack leaked information for more than four million federal employees, including incredibly detailed data from background checks. While that attack is still being investigated, the American government has said that it'll be making online records more secure. China, for its part, says it's also facing regular cyberattacks from the US. Meanwhile, the two frenemies are also trying to work together to take on cybercriminals.
