• Rep. Don Bacon, a Nebraska Republican, has revealed that he received a warning from the FBI regarding the hacking of his emails by Chinese spies. Both personal and campaign communications were compromised during the cyber intrusion.
• Bacon shared the details of the hacking incident in a post on the social media platform X on Monday. According to his statement, he was informed that Chinese Communist Party operatives had gained unauthorized access to his email accounts, with the breach lasting approximately one month and concluding on June 16.
• Attributing the breach to a “vulnerability in Microsoft software,” Bacon’s disclosure seems to point to the larger hacking campaign that Microsoft disclosed the previous month.
