Former US Marine pilot arrested in Australia worked with Chinese hacker, lawyer says

A former U.S. Marine pilot fighting extradition from Australia on U.S. charges of training Chinese military pilots to land on aircraft carriers, unknowingly worked with a Chinese hacker, his lawyer said.

Daniel Duggan, 55, a naturalised Australian citizen, feared requests by Western intelligence agencies for sensitive information were putting his family at risk, the lawyer said in a legal filing seen by Reuters.

The lawyer's filing supports Reuters reporting linking Duggan to convicted Chinese defence hacker Su Bin.

Duggan denies the allegations that he broke U.S. arms control laws. He has been in an Australian maximum security prison since his 2022 arrest after returning from six years working in Beijing.

- Seriously, stop bitching about paywalls and use just the slightest bit of research.
  The onus is not on me to go do extra work to be able to read the article, it's up to the person making the post to make sure the article's readable by all, or to include the link to a non-paywalled version in the summary.
  My goal is to bring awareness for paywalls and trying to get them to not be used. They should not be promoted here on Lemmy.
  Here’s the reuters article from a year ago https://archive.is/er7Ws
  That's not even for the same article, and as you stated, a year out of date.
