Chinese hackers infiltrate US Treasury office evaluating foreign investments for security threats

Credited from: CNN

  • Chinese hackers have breached a US government office, specifically the Committee on Foreign Investment in the US (CFIUS), aimed at assessing foreign investments for national security.
  • This incident highlights Beijing's interest in obtaining intelligence from an agency that can block Chinese investments as tensions between the US and China escalate.
  • The breach is part of a wider invasion into the Treasury Department's unclassified systems, which included targeting the sanctions office.
  • While no classified data appears to have been compromised, there are concerns that unclassified information may provide intelligence when pieced together.
  • The Treasury has enhanced its cybersecurity measures and is assessing the possible impact on national security resulting from this intrusion.
