'Major incident': China reportedly hacks Treasury Department

Raw Story  

China reportedly hacked the Treasury Department in what the United States is calling a "major incident" — the second time the department has been hacked in the last four years. The company BeyondTrust contacted the Treasury Department earlier this month to say that a hacker obtained a security key that allowed remote access to some Treasury Department workstations. Federal and private experts told NBC News that in December 2020, the Trump administration admitted hackers acting on behalf of "almost certainly a Russian intelligence agency" broke into government networks, including the Treasury and Commerce Departments. "Dozens of email accounts at the Treasury Department were compromised in a massive breach of U.S. government agencies being blamed on Russia, with hackers breaking into systems used by the department’s highest-ranking officials," a senator told The Associated Press at the time.
