The U.S. Commerce Department on Sunday confirmed it was breached, after reports that both it and the Treasury Department were hacked by a foreign government.

“We can confirm there has been a breach in one of our bureaus. We have asked CISA and the FBI to investigate, and we cannot comment further at this time,” the Commerce Department said in an emailed statement to The Epoch Times, referring to the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
