  • The U.S. Department of the Treasury experienced a cybersecurity breach in December 2024, attributed to a suspected Chinese state-sponsored actor.
  • Attackers reportedly exploited a vulnerability within BeyondTrust, a third-party service, allowing them access to unclassified documents.
  • The Treasury Department confirms the compromised service has been taken offline and plans to release a detailed report within 30 days.
  • Experts emphasize that this attack may heighten tensions between the U.S. and China, necessitating improved cybersecurity strategies and international cooperation.
