The White House is preparing sanctions against the Chinese individuals and companies. According to the information provided by anonymous sources, this decision was provoked by the fact that Beijing has benefited from the cyber theft of commercial and economic information from the US organizations. If the Obama administration will keep on developing sanctions to punish China, in the modern history it will be the first case of freezing assets of both entities and individuals engaged in destructive attacks or commercial espionage in cyberspace.
The White House declined to comment on specific sanctions, but a senior administration official said that the US government has not yet taken decision on this thorny issue. Nevertheless, all the rumors prove the US intention to take cyber security seriously.
