In early December 2024, the US Treasury Department suffered a cyberattack attributed to a China-supported actor identified as an APT group. Several workstations were infiltrated via a third-party security service provider, BeyondTrust. Although some documents were accessed, none were classified. The Treasury informed the US Congress and is conducting further investigations with security agencies. China denies any involvement and calls the accusations politically motivated. This follows prior accusations by the US, UK, and New Zealand against China for cyberattacks on critical infrastructure and government institutions, including attempts to infiltrate US infrastructure through the state-sponsored hacker group "Volt Typhoon."
