Chinese hackers steal 60,000 State Department emails, says US Senate Staffer

Live Mint  

A US Senate staffer has said that Chinese hackers who subverted Microsoft's email platform earlier this year managed to steal tens of thousands of emails from the country's State Department accounts, Reuters has reported. While attending a briefing of the State Department officials, he said officials told lawmakers that 60,000 emails were stolen from 10 different State Department accounts. Earlier this month, Microsoft in a blogpost had said that the Chinese hack of senior officials at the US State and Commerce departments stemmed from the compromise of a Microsoft engineer's corporate account. The company said the engineer's account had been penetrated by a hacking group it dubs Storm-0558, which is alleged to have stolen hundreds of thousands of emails from top American officials including Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, U.S.
