Many of those sanctioned already face charges or restrictions in other countries, such as America.<\/p>\n<p>One group on the receiving end of Europe&#8217;s ire is the miscreants behind <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2018\/12\/20\/two_alleged_chinese_hackers\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Operation Cloud Hopper<\/a>. As the name suggests, this gang hacked cloud providers who were hosting systems for European companies, and in some cases made off with those customers&#8217; intellectual property and trade secrets, mainly in the defense and aerospace sectors. IBM and HPE were said to be among Cloud Hopper&#8217;s victims.<\/p>\n<p>The EU said two individuals involved in the operation, Gao Qiang and Zhang Shilong (<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fbi.gov\/wanted\/cyber\/zhang-shilong\">also wanted<\/a> by the FBI), will now face sanctions, as will the company that served as their base of operations, Huaying Haitai.
