The Chinese state-sponsored hacking group ‘Silk Typhoon’ has been linked to a significant breach of a US Treasury agency in December 2024, with further reports indicating they also compromised the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), which assesses national security risks associated with foreign investments. The attackers are suspected to have stolen sensitive information from both the Treasury and the CFIUS, which has raised significant concerns in the US government. This coordinated attack demonstrates a pattern of sophisticated cyber espionage activities by the Silk Typhoon group.
