Our enemies are exploiting the last days of a complicit, treacherous, incompetent regime. Hackers compromised a third-party software service provider, accessing certain unclassified documents, according to a letter sent to lawmakers.
Why is the Biden regime using third party services? The United States, the engine and inventor of all of this technology, doesn’t have the capability to protect our systems? This is a disgrace.

WASHINGTON—Chinese hackers remotely breached the U.S. Treasury Department earlier this month, stealing documents from its workstations, according to a letter the agency sent to lawmakers on Monday. The Treasury Department described the breach as a “major incident.”
On Dec. 8, Chinese state-sponsored hackers compromised a third-party software service provider, Beyond Trust, accessing certain unclassified documents, according to the letter by Aditi Hardikar, an assistant Treasury secretary.
The department did not specify how many workstations had been compromised or what kind of documents the hackers may have obtained. However, in the letter, it said that the BeyondTrust service has been taken offline and “at this time there is no evidence indicating the threat actor has continued access to Treasury information.”

Last week, a White House official announced that the recent cyberattacks affected nine telecom companies, including Verizon, AT&T, and CenturyLink.
