In a decisive move to combat cyber espionage, the U.S. government has announced a reward of up to $10 million for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of Zhang Yu, a Chinese national implicated in the infamous HAFNIUM cyberattacks. These attacks exploited vulnerabilities in Microsoft Exchange servers, affecting thousands of organizations worldwide. This reward highlights the U.S. commitment to dismantling sophisticated cybercrime networks that threaten national security and critical infrastructure.

The reward program invites tips from both domestic and international sources, encouraging anyone with credible intelligence to come forward. Valuable information may include:
