The United States Treasury Department has claimed that Chinese hackers remotely accessed several workstations across America, with no current evidence of ongoing access to sensitive information. China has denied the claims, stating that Beijing opposes all forms of hacker attacks. The Chinese government claims that the accusations are spreading false information for political purposes.
We have stated our position many times regarding such groundless accusations that lack evidence.
Based on available indicators, the incident has been attributed to a China state-sponsored Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) actor.
The compromised BeyondTrust service has been taken offline and there is no evidence indicating the threat actor has continued access to Treasury systems or information.
