Transcript From the Skyhigh Studios at Skyhigh Security, I'm Scott Schlee, and these are your cybersecurity headlines for the week of January 6th, 2025. The U.S. Treasury Department reported a significant cyber incident attributed to Chinese state-backed hackers. Attackers remotely accessed employee workstations and unclassified documents, raising concerns about the security of federal systems. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) stated there is no indication that other federal agencies were affected. The U.S. Treasury Department imposed sanctions on Beijing-based Integrity Technology Group for its alleged involvement in hacking incidents targeting U.S. critical infrastructure. China condemned the sanctions, denying the allegations and accusing the U.S. of defamation. This development underscores escalating cyber tensions between the two nations.
