Treasury says Chinese hackers remotely accessed workstations, documents in ‘major’ cyber incident

The Treasury Department said Chinese hackers remotely accessed several employee workstations and unclassified documents after compromising a third-party software service provider. The department did not provide details on how many workstations had been accessed or what sort of documents the hackers may have obtained. It said in a letter to lawmakers Monday revealing the breach that “at this time there is no evidence indicating the threat actor has continued access to Treasury information.” The department, which is working with the FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, said the hack had been attributed to Chinese culprits, without elaborating. The post Treasury says Chinese hackers remotely accessed workstations, documents in ‘major’ cyber incident first appeared on Federal News Network.
