Treasury

The Treasury was targeted in a sophisticated cyber-attack conducted by a group linked to Chinese nationals. This attack, part of a campaign that affected over 100 US organizations, compromised IT systems including management software. The severity of the intrusion led to significant damage, with the Treasury experiencing a breach of sensitive data critical to national security and economic stability. The scope and sophistication of the attack indicate a threat to both internal operations and potentially, broader national interests.
