Chinese Hackers Breach U.S. Ambassador's Email, Officials Confirm

China-linked hackers have reportedly accessed the email accounts of the US ambassador to China, Nicholas Burns, and the assistant secretary of state for East Asia, Daniel Kritenbrink, as part of a targeted intelligence-gathering campaign. The breach, which also affected Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo's email account, was limited to unclassified email accounts. Last week, it was confirmed that hackers based in China had breached email accounts of the State and Commerce departments. The US government has not disclosed the number of people affected, and the incident remains under investigation.
