Chinese hackers stole emails from US State Dept in Microsoft breach, Senate staffer says

Chinese hackers, who previously breached Microsoft's email platform, managed to steal approximately 60,000 emails from 10 U.S. State Department accounts. The compromised accounts primarily focused on Indo-Pacific diplomacy efforts. This breach has heightened concerns about Microsoft's role in providing IT services to the U.S. government. The State Department is taking measures to enhance its cybersecurity, including moving to "hybrid" environments with multiple vendors and improving multi-factor authentication. The incident has strained U.S.-China relations, with China denying involvement. Senator Eric Schmitt called for stronger cyber defenses and a reevaluation of the government's reliance on a single vendor.
