Computers of Senior US Treasury Leaders Accessed in Hack
Chinese state-sponsored hackers broke into the computers of senior US Treasury Department leaders as part of a recent breach of the agency, according to a US official and another person familiar with the matter.
Investigators have so far found roughly 100 government computers that were compromised, according to the US official, who added that the hackers accessed drafts and notes for policy decisions, itineraries and travel planning documents for Treasury leaders, as well as some internal communications. While visiting Beijing in April, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen made clear to her counterparts that Washington would act to sanction Chinese financial firms if they were found financing trade with Russia that bolstered Moscow’s war with Ukraine. “I stressed that companies, including those in the PRC, must not provide material support for Russia’s war, and that they will face significant consequences if they do,” Yellen told reporters during an April 8 press conference at the US ambassador’s residence in Beijing, using an abbreviation for the People’s Republic of China.
