Hackers have accessed important documents!
The ministry said that the hackers were able to access employees’ workstations and some documents. According to the letter written to the Senate Banking Committee, the third-party software service provider said hackers gained access to the keys used to secure the cloud-based service. It is not clear how many workstations were compromised by the hackers. The administration spokesman said in his statement that the hacker accessed many workstations.
APT, i.e. Advanced Persistent Threat, is a type of cyber attack, where hackers remain hidden in the system for a long time. They secretly steal information and cause damage to the system. These hackers are often supported by governments and have high technical skills. China rejected these accusations and said they were completely baseless. A spokesman for the Chinese Embassy in Washington, D.C., said the allegations are part of a smear campaign. The American agency imposed this without any facts.
