In early December 2024, the U.S. Department of the Treasury experienced a cybersecurity breach. Though China denies involvement, the breach is attributed to a Chinese state-sponsored Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) actor.

Treasury says hackers accessed “certain unclassified documents” in a “major” breach, but experts believe the attack’s impacts could prove to be more significant as new details emerge.

China slammed the U.S. Treasury's sanctions against cybersecurity firm Integrity Technology Group for its alleged role in hacking incidents.

China slammed the U.S. Monday for sanctioning a Beijing-based cybersecurity firm allegedly behind a botnet targeting American infrastructure, accusing Washington of “using the issue of cybersecurity to vilify and smear China.

On Friday, the Treasury Department imposed sanctions on Chinese company Integrity Technology by restricting its access to U.S. property and bank accounts.
