The department did not provide details on how many workstations had been accessed or what sort of documents the hackers may have obtained. It said in a letter to lawmakers Monday revealing the breach that “at this time there is no evidence indicating the threat actor has continued access to Treasury information.” The department, which is working with the FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, said the hack had been attributed to Chinese culprits, without elaborating.

Congress has until midnight Friday to come up with a way to fund the government, or federal agencies will shutter. It's up to each federal agency to determine how it handles a shutdown, but there would be disruptions in many services. Benefits checks for Social Security and Medicare recipients would go out, though. Troops and law enforcement officers would also stay on the job. This is happening because Congress hasn't approved a new measure to fund the government, and the current provision expires Friday. President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday rejected a bipartisan plan to prevent a shutdown, instead telling House Speaker Mike Johnson and Republicans to renegotiate. A new bill failed on Thursday, leaving next steps uncertain.

In a hastily convened evening vote punctuated by angry outbursts over the self-made crisis, the House voted 174-235 against the plan that would have kept government running for three months and suspended the debt limit for two years. House Speaker Mike Johnson appears determined to regroup before Friday’s midnight deadline. House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries called the new plan “laughable.”
