US Treasury says it was hacked by China

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

A Chinese state-sponsored hacker has broken into the US Treasury Department's systems, accessing employee workstations and some unclassified documents, according to American officials. President Joe Biden makes what is most likely his last multi-billion dollar grant of aid to Ukraine's economy whilst still in office. We take a look at how US companies are responding to the prospect of a Trump presidency which might be about to impose much higher import duties on goods from around the world. And we're in Scotland where - to some local dismay - the end of year festival, Hogmanay, has partly at least been cancelled. You can contact us on WhatsApp or send us a voicenote: +44 330 678 3033. We would love to hear from you!
