Chinese hackers breached State Dept., other government email on eve of Blinken visit, officials say

U.S. officials say state-backed Chinese hackers foiled Microsoft’s cloud-based security and hacked the email of officials at multiple U.S. agencies that deal with China ahead of Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s trip to Beijing last month.

The surgical, targeted espionage accessed the mailboxes of a small number of individuals at an unspecified number of U.S. agencies and was discovered by the State Department.

6 months ago, the US had hacked my one of favorite Chinese restaurants in Shanghai while I was having dinner there. Now, it's payback time. What's the big deal!
