Justice Department Corrects Statements on Chinese Hacking, Clarifying Agencies Were Targets, Not All Victims

The U.S. Department of Justice has revised earlier statements regarding Chinese hacking activities, clarifying that several government agencies, including the U.S. Senate, Federal Reserve, and NASA, were 'among the targets' of a Chinese state-sponsored hacking group, rather than confirmed 'victims' of successful breaches. This correction narrows the scope of confirmed compromises, although some agencies were indeed affected.
