The FT reports that China has hacked emails used by staff members of powerful committees in the U.S. House of Representatives, as part of a cyber espionage campaign known as Salt Typhoon. China accessed email systems used by some staffers on the House China committee as well as aides on panels covering foreign affairs, intelligence and the armed services, the report said. One person familiar with the attack told the FT it was unclear whether the attackers had accessed lawmakers’ emails in the intrusions, which were detected in December. The White House had no immediate comment. The Chinese Embassy in Washington, the Chinese foreign ministry and the offices of the four committees did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
