Amidst the tension with America, Chinese hackers are continuously carrying out cyber attacks on America. This is not the first time that Chinese hackers have stolen American data. Similar news had come in July also. American officials and Microsoft had revealed that Chinese hackers had accessed the e-mails of 25 American organizations.

Chinese hackers have broken into the emails of the US government. Hackers played with 60 thousand accounts of the US State Department. The Senate staff has claimed this. He told that all these emails have been stolen from 10 departments of the state. Of these, 9 were working for East Asia and Pacific while another one was working for Europe.

Let us tell you that amidst the tension with America, Chinese hackers are continuously carrying out cyber attacks on America. This is not the first time that Chinese hackers have stolen US data. Earlier such news had come in the month of July. US officials and Microsoft had revealed that Chinese hackers had accessed the emails of at least 25 organizations since May.

Microsoft engineer's device also tampered

When America accused China of cyber attack, it completely rejected it. Most of the State Department people whose accounts were compromised were working on Indo-Pacific diplomacy efforts. Hackers also hacked a list containing all the emails of the department. Hackers tampered with the device of a Microsoft engineer.

Microsoft increased security

This allowed them to break into the e-mail accounts of the State Department. Microsoft had said earlier this month that the backing up of emails of senior US State and Commerce Department officials was due to the compromise of a Microsoft engineer's corporate account. The official said that we need to strengthen our security against such cyber attacks and intrusions.
