Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo is not letting a China-linked hack of her department prevent her from working with the communist regime and is preparing to make new overtures to Beijing later this year.
Ms. Raimondo on Friday refused to say whether the China-linked cyberattackers breached her email but confirmed a major hack had disrupted her department.
Microsoft said the hack affected some 25 organizations. CISA said it learned the hackers took “unclassified Exchange Online Outlook data from a small number of accounts.” China has several reasons to be interested in espionage against the Commerce Department, including because the agency maintains a blacklist of foreign people and entities that obstructs their work in the U.S. over national security issues.
“We’re planning the trip now, which doesn’t mean that we excuse any kind of hacking or infringement on our security,” Ms. Raimondo said. “What it means is that we need to be ferocious in the way we protect American national security but also de-escalate tension where we can and look for ways that we can work together.”
