US: China-backed Hackers Breached US Treasury Workstations

The US Treasury Department notified lawmakers that a China state-sponsored actor breached US Treasury workstations. A Treasury official was reportedly informed by a software service provider on December 8 that a threat actor used a stolen key to remotely access Treasury workstations and unclassified documents.

“Based on available indicators, the incident has been attributed to a Chinese state-sponsored Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) actor,” Aditi Hardikar, assistant secretary for management at the US Treasury, wrote.

The compromised service has been taken offline and officials are reportedly working with law enforcement and Cybersecurity.

It is not clearly identified how many workstations were breached and the overall impact is yet to be determined.
