WASHINGTON – The Trump administration acknowledged reports on 
Sunday that a group backed by a foreign government carried out a 
cyberattack on the U.S. Treasury Department and a section of the 
U.S. Department of Commerce.

“The United States government is aware of these reports and we 
are taking all necessary steps to identify and remedy any 
possible issues related to this situation,” National Security 
Council spokesman John Ullyot wrote in an emailed statement to 
CNBC.

The hack was first reported by Reuters.

The hackers are suspected of targeting the Treasury Department 
as well as the Commerce Department’s National Telecommunications 
and Information Administration, or NTIA, a U.S. agency that is 
tasked with crafting internet and telecommunications policy, 
Reuters reported.

The elaborate cyber hack that was launched on NTIA involved the 
organization’s Microsoft Office 365 platform, according to 
Reuters.

It was not immediately clear what information was compromised by 
the cyber breach.

A Department of Commerce spokesperson confirmed the hack. 
Microsoft declined to comment.

“We can confirm there has been a breach in one of our bureaus. 
We have asked CISA and the FBI to investigate, and we cannot 
comment further at this time,” a spokesperson for Commerce told 
NBC News.

The Washington Post linked the hack, which occurred over the 
weekend, to a group working for the Russian foreign intelligence 
service.

The FBI is currently investigating the group, known among 
private-sector cybersecurity firms as APT29 or Cozy Bear. The 
hackers are also believed to have breached the State Department, 
Joint Chiefs of Staff and the White House networks during the 
Obama administration.

The latest revelation comes less than a month after President 
Donald Trump fired Christopher Krebs, the nation’s top 
cybersecurity official.

Krebs, who oversaw the Department of Homeland Security’s 
Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, was 
responsible for leading the effort to protect U.S. elections.

In a pair of tweets last month, Trump said that Krebs gave a 
“highly inaccurate” statement about the security of the 2020 
presidential election.

Trump, who has not yet conceded to President-elect Joe Biden, 
made unfounded claims that the election was riddled with 
“massive improprieties and fraud.” Twitter labeled the 
president’s tweets with a warning citing the claim about 
election fraud is disputed.

The courts have repeatedly dismissed suits the Trump campaign 
and its allies have brought over the 2020 election.
