Chinese Hackers Breach US Government Email Accounts, Microsoft and White House Confirm
China-based hackers have breached email accounts at two-dozen organizations, including some US government agencies, in an apparent spying campaign aimed at acquiring sensitive information. Microsoft and the White House are investigating the full scope of the hack and working to contain the fallout. The hackers, based in China, used a stolen sign-in key to gain access to email accounts, but Microsoft has since blocked their access. US officials have consistently labeled China as the most advanced adversary in cyberspace, with the FBI stating that Beijing has a larger hacking program than all other governments combined. China has routinely denied these allegations.
