💨 Abstract

Chinese state-sponsored hackers breached the U.S. Treasury Department's computer security this month, compromising a third-party service provider, BeyondTrust. The hackers accessed unclassified documents by gaining access to a stolen key used to secure a cloud-based service. The Treasury Department was alerted by BeyondTrust on Dec. 8 and is working with the FBI and CISA to assess the impact.
