Chinese hackers have breached the U.S. government office responsible for reviewing foreign investments for national security risks, known as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. (CFIUS). This breach, reported by CNN, has raised concerns as the CFIUS recently gained expanded authority to scrutinize real estate sales near U.S. military bases. The hackers also targeted the Treasury's sanctions office, indicating a broader campaign against U.S. cybersecurity.
