China hacked email systems of US congressional committee staff, FT reports

China has hacked emails used by congressional staff on powerful committees in the U.S. House of Representatives, as part of a massive cyber espionage campaign known as Salt Typhoon, the Financial Times reported on Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter. The White House had no immediate comment. China accessed email systems used by some staffers on the House China committee as well as aides on the foreign affairs committee, intelligence committee and armed services committee, the report said.
