--News Direct--

Chinese-based hackers have recently gained unauthorized access to the email accounts of approximately 25 organizations, including multiple government agencies, according to Microsoft.

The breach was initially discovered in mid-June by an unnamed agency within the Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB), as announced by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, the primary federal cybersecurity watchdog.

While Microsoft did not disclose the specific countries or agencies impacted, it revealed that the hacking group primarily targets Western governments for the purpose of espionage. Microsoft collaborated with the federal Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency to expel the hackers, indicating that U.S. organizations were among the victims.

Senator Mark Warner, who heads the Senate Intelligence Committee, expressed close monitoring of what appears to be a significant cybersecurity breach by Chinese intelligence. He emphasized the need for close coordination between the U.S. government and the private sector in countering this evolving threat, noting the continuous enhancement of China's cyber collection capabilities against the United States and its allies.

Microsoft's report stated that the hacks began on May 15 and remained undetected until June 16. The perpetrators primarily focused on gaining access to email accounts, although Microsoft confirmed that they no longer have such access. The report did not explicitly attribute the hacker group to the Chinese government.

Unlike hackers associated with Russia or Iran, Chinese hackers are less inclined to disrupt their targets, instead gaining prominence as some of the world's most proficient cyberspies.

Fortunately, there are advanced cybersecurity companies like CyberCatch Holdings, Inc. (TSXV:CYBE) that can help businesses safeguard against hackers.
