Remote Support software apparently responsible for breach at the Treasury

The vender, Beyond Trust, was breached this past month, and this has lead to this potential breach at the Treasury.

Here in the United States, if my memory is correct, this agency oversees our money among other things.

We know from the article that an APT actor was possibly responsible for this breach and their name will probably not be surprising to my readers.

If you’re new to the blog than you’ll want to read more about the group and their potential issues. This is the link to the search for the group known as Salt Typhoon.

This article will also appear there as Salt Typhoon was mentioned within this article I’m reading about the breach at the treasury.

The letter Bleeping Computer got indicate that the actors are apparently out, and that the FBI and CISA were responsible for aiding in the investigation.

As we know, Salt Typhoon was linked to other tellecommunication hacks, and it will not surprise me if more is learned about what they apparently did if anything to the treasury.
