Senate Staffer Claims Chinese Hackers Stole 60,000 Emails From US Government

On Wednesday, a Senate staffer stated that tens of thousands of emails were stolen from U.S. State Department accounts by Chinese hackers who exploited Microsoft’s email platform earlier this year.

The staff member, who was present at an earlier Wednesday briefing of State Department IT personnel, claimed the officials informed senators that 60,000 emails had been stolen from 10 different State Department accounts. Even though the victims weren’t identified, he added that all but one were engaged in work related to East Asia and the Pacific.

The staffer, who works for Senator Eric Schmitt, provided information about the briefing under the condition that his name not be used.
