Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen's computer was infiltrated
by Chinese hackers
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen's computer was infiltrated
by Chinese state-sponsored hackers.
Bloomberg News reported Thursday on the intrusion, reporting
that fewer than 50 unclassified files were accessed on
Yellen's computer.
Treasury Department officials were on Capitol Hill Wednesday
and Thursday briefing lawmakers and staff about the hack.
Two of Yellen's deputies, Deputy Secretary Wally Adeyemo and
Acting Under Secretary Brad Smith, also had their computers
hacked.

"50 unclassified files" ??? That means 50,000 CLASSIFIED
files once you translate from govt-speak.
Capital One Bank was crippled yesterday, someone made
sure it couldn't accept/process deposits. Accident ?
"Update" ? REALLY doubt it.
They're INTO ALL OUR STUFF now - from top govt to
utilities and phones and likely garbage smushers.
Our "online-everything" frenzy made all this possible.
Our enemies only need "push the button" and all our
vital systems CRASH, maybe for a LONG time.
