In a significant cybersecurity breach, the U.S. Department of the Treasury has reported unauthorized access to its systems, with officials attributing the intrusion to hackers linked to the Chinese government. The attackers reportedly accessed employee workstations and unclassified documents, marking what the department describes as a "major incident."
According to a BBC report, the cyberattacks targeted high-profile individuals, including President-elect Donald Trump and Vice-President-elect JD Vance, while also breaching a law enforcement wiretap database, potentially exposing surveillance on foreign spies. The report also notes that millions of Americans may have had their data compromised in attacks on telecommunications companies.
