The Treasury Department has imposed sanctions on Integrity Technology Group, a Beijing-based cybersecurity company, for enabling Chinese hackers to breach U.S. communications systems.
A letter revealed that a Chinese intelligence agency had infiltrated the Treasury Department's systems, accessing government documents and employee workstations between 2022 and 2023.
Sanctions come in response to the threat posed by Flax Typhoon, affiliated with Chinese state-sponsored operations, indicative of the growing incidents of cyber espionage.
Bradley T. Smith emphasized that the U.S. Treasury will hold malicious cyber actors accountable, reflecting a commitment to disrupting China's cyber capabilities.
