The U.S. Treasury Department reported that a cyber breach was attributed to a China state-sponsored Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) actor, regarding unauthorized access to their systems through a third-party service.
China's foreign ministry fiercely denied the accusations, labeling them as groundless, asserting their opposition to hacking and speculation-based claims made for political gain.
After the breach, the Treasury Department collaborated with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and law enforcement to evaluate the impact and protect its systems.
The Treasury confirmed that no current threats exist from the breach, as the compromised service has been taken offline with no evidence of continued access.
