U.S. ambassador to China Nicholas Burns was among those hacked in a cyber-espionage operation linked to Beijing.

The alleged spying operation, first disclosed last week, is believed to have compromised hundreds of thousands of U.S. government emails.

Burns and Daniel Kritenbrink, the Assistant Secretary of State for East Asia, are believed to be the two most senior State Department officials targeted.

Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo was also among those targeted, U.S. officials told The Washington Post.

“The Department of State detected anomalous activity, took immediate steps to secure our systems, and will continue to closely monitor and quickly respond to any further activity,” a State Department spokesperson said.

“As a matter of cybersecurity policy, we do not discuss details of our response and the incident remains under investigation. The Department of State has a robust cyber security program to protect our systems and information and works continuously to build resilience and stay ahead of malicious actors. We continuously monitor our networks and update our security procedures.” Burns and Kritenbrink’s inclusion in the attack was first reported by The Wall Street Journal.
