US Congressman claims Chinese spies hacked his emails.

Nebraska Congressman Don Bacon’s Emails Hacked by⁤ Chinese Spies

By Christopher⁣ Bing and Raphael Satter

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Nebraska Republican Congressman Don Bacon revealed on ⁤Monday that he had received a warning from⁤ the FBI regarding⁣ the⁣ hacking of his emails by ‌Chinese spies. Both⁤ his personal and campaign messages ⁣were compromised.

Bacon shared on the social media​ platform X (formerly known as Twitter) that the Chinese ​Communist‌ Party had unauthorized ⁢access to his accounts for⁤ approximately a month, ending on June‌ 16.

According to Bacon, the ⁣hack was a result of a vulnerability in Microsoft software, likely referring to the recent hacking campaign disclosed by Microsoft. This⁣ campaign reportedly led to the theft of hundreds of thousands of emails from senior U.S. ⁣officials,⁢ including U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo​ and U.S. Ambassador to China Nicholas Burns.

CNN previously reported ​that email accounts in the House of Representatives were targeted in the same campaign.

“There were other victims in this cyber operation,” Bacon stated on X. “The Communist government in China are not our friends​ and are very active in‌ conducting cyber espionage.”

The Chinese Embassy in Washington has​ not yet responded to requests ⁣for comment, and both the FBI and Microsoft have yet ⁢to reply.

Bacon, a⁣ former Air Force brigadier general and current member of the House Armed Services Committee, was elected⁤ to Congress in ⁣2016. He plays a crucial role in determining the U.S. military’s annual budget and spending plans.
