China-based hackers infiltrated the email accounts of employees at the State Department. See potential bias and similarities in coverage from WSJ, nytimes, and WashTimes:

The State Department confirmed Wednesday that a number of employee emails were compromised in a hack stemming from China. detailing that “China-based” hackers “gained access to email accounts affecting approximately 25 organizations including government agencies as well as related consumer accounts of individuals likely associated with these organizations.” This specific hack reportedly began in May, with Microsoft opening an investigation the following month.

Reports indicate the hack was not a broad-brush infiltration of networks, but instead targeted specific emails and individuals. A State Department spokesman said in a statement, “The Department of State detected anomalous activity, took immediate steps to secure our systems, and will continue to closely monitor and quickly respond to any further activity. As a matter of cybersecurity policy, we do not discuss details of our response and the incident remains under investigation.
