Chinese state-aligned hackers were reported to have targeted the email inboxes of staff in multiple U.S. House of Representatives committees (including foreign affairs, intelligence, and armed services), with media attributing the activity to the APT group called 'Salt Typhoon'. Investigations are ongoing, attribution has not been independently confirmed, and it remains unknown whether any emails were exfiltrated; China has denied involvement.
