💨 Abstract

Chinese state-sponsored hackers gained access to the U.S. Treasury Department this month, compromising a third-party cybersecurity service provider to steal unclassified documents. The incident was a "major incident" and the Treasury Department is collaborating with the FBI and U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency to assess the impact. BeyondTrust, the CISA, and the FBI did not immediately comment on the matter.
