U.S. Treasury says computers hacked by a Chinese 'threat actor'

The breach proves Chinese state-sponsored actors have deliberately targeted sensitive US government systems through sophisticated third-party compromise techniques. However, Washington will not tolerate efforts by the Chinese government to intimidate Americans who serve the public or steal from American institutions.
These accusations are baseless as China opposes all forms of hacking and cyber-attacks. The US must stop using cyber security to smear China's reputation or spread disinformation without evidence for political purposes. Politicizing cybersecurity issues doesn't solve the real problem.
