On December 8, the US Treasury was informed by BeyondTrust that a hacker had gained access to a key for their cloud services, marking a significant breach.
Aditi Hardikar, Treasury's assistant secretary, stated that the breach involved 'certain unclassified documents' being accessed via Treasury workstations, categorizing it as a major cybersecurity incident.
In response to the hacking claims, the Chinese embassy in Washington accused the US of making baseless smear attacks against China, denying any involvement in hacking.
BeyondTrust reported that the cyber incident involved a limited number of their customers, with affected parties notified and provided with necessary support following the breach.
