Without having read the full PDF report [0], the summarized version [1] makes the allegations seem quite weak. It comes down, seemingly, to the fact that a PLA domain name appears in the malware. Maybe I'm missing something.

If you get the paywall, I'd advise downloading the actual report from ThreatConnect it's far more detailed: http://www.threatconnect.com/camerashy/

And if you want to get past the paywall, Google the link and open it from the search results.

Still paywalled for me, even following that link.

try opening it in a private tab, Google tracking cookies seem to break it for some reason.

I think it is very important to understand that the timing of this report is likely no coincidence. With Xi set to have discussions today with Obama, this is effectively a slap across the face to Xi right before an important visit that he can't back out of, and effectively puts china on a lower footing by showing them to be lying directly to the US about their intentions.

Edit: this isn't to say publication/announcement was done at the administration's request, simply that the timing is extremely suspect. Other interests also want to see Xi brought down a few pegs. Politics :-/
