Chinese hackers have breached the U.S. Treasury's key office for reviewing foreign investments, raising serious concerns about national security risks related to foreign transactions.
The hackers exploited a stolen BeyondTrust key, gaining remote access to employee workstations and sensitive documents on the Treasury's unclassified network, according to officials.
Silk Typhoon, previously known as Hafnium, is the group behind this attack; they're infamous for their mass hacking operations targeting information from various sectors.
U.S. cybersecurity agency CISA indicated there was no evidence of breaches in other government departments, highlighting the targeted nature of this cyberattack.
