It may be a new year, but the hacks, scams, and dangerous people lurking online haven't gone anywhere. Just a day before the ball dropped, the United States Treasury Department said it had been hacked. Officials believe the attackers are an as-yet-unidentified Advanced Persistent Threat group linked to China's government that exploited flaws in remote tech support software made by BeyondTrust to carry out what the Treasury Department described as a "major" breach. The company told the Treasury on December 8 that the attackers stole an authentication key, which ultimately allowed them to access department computers. While the Treasury says the attackers were only able to steal "certain unclassified documents," new details have already begun to emerge, which we'll get into more below.
