...And the good news keeps on coming...

Anything connected to the Internet can be hacked.

No matter how secured your platform is, if the hacker is really skilled and experienced then you can be still vulnerable to them.

Imagine US Authority can be still hacked by those criminals who are anonymous, it is really hard to deal with them.

For those who are just a normal person who are surfing in the internet, always be careful and don't put any important information in a platform that is suspicious.

That's right. What you said is a reminder for everyone to always be careful and vigilant because hacker is everywhere and anytime they can hack what they want because I believe those hackers are experts and skilled like the man here in our country, at his young age, he stole millions of cash by being a hacker but unfortunately he was also caught by the authorities.

I'd prefer that government institutions keep open and honest about such attacks taking place, even if it does make them look foolish for a short while. The alternative would be a false sense of security and fake denial that we see in the governments of many other countries. You don't know to what extent they were hacked, it could have been some peripheral or back office devices, but they could equally have lost sensitive information. It would be incredibly naive to assume that any organisation is invulnerable - it must be incredibly difficult being in their position, as attacks must be relentless because their institutions are so important.

Okay there can be two cases here :
1. The government is trying to protect themselves because they genuinely might have sold this information to someone else or might have compromised the people , which is really really common. They do this all the time. The FBI they track everything. The FB , instagram and WhatsApp are something which is being used by the same company to track your every step. This is really common. 
2. They might have lost this database since they are only good at hacking but at the end bad at keeping them safe. They take these things for granted and at the end 🔚 this is what might happen now what should people do ??

- I am not a US citizen but I do believe that they have to stand up for this , they have to register a case against these governmental itself. No body is bigger than the judicial system. Now if they do that they might not get anything out of it BUT ** they will succeed in creating awareness about this particular thing which happens every now and then and is more or so  ignored**

Hackers are just waiting for the opportunities to blowout your assets, you need to be more furious in order to avoid them out. It's true that

everything is possible and hackable but there's also securities that have different layers in order to prevent those hackers to penetrate, it's a

matter of how good you are securing your assets and the businesses that have their own IT specialist to secure everything inside their premises.

the government will be pushed to go digital or crypto but before that will happen they will regulate crypto. and they are beginning to be doing it afaik. hacking wouldn't going to make the government realized their lack of urgency to act about crypto, they even have political problem right now.  the first thing to they might do right now is find who the culprits are.

[Yatsan]

I don't get it why you are still considering it as a great news knowing that the US treasury have been hacked by those foreign entities. You must be sad because hacks are serious matter and that just proves how not safe and secure anything that is being catered through internet this time because of the breach that happened. Even if they were pursuing crypto regulation, still it is not good that even the US Treasury have been victimized by such actions done by those hackers. They have a tight security and still they have been hacked by such entities how much more for a simple security feature? This still sounds alarming and I do not consider this as a good news after all.

When it comes in digital world it's quite hard to determine who the culprits are as theuly uses different identities and seems to be professional in doing such hacking, what really needs is to government to really tighten their security more and seek ways to improve their services or having options that  they can make sure that it's safer to use, accepting crypto or having their own crypto can help in their goal but what they really need is to limit ways or as much possible have no room that they will got hacked by strengthening their security enforcement.

Well, there's gotta be someone held accountable for this in a case this intense and serious. And this will definitely lose them the trust of the people since they advertised themselves to the public as an impenetrable department that will never be toppled down by the way their statements and hold themselves in. Prolly would take a bit more time until people are convinced to switch into crypto but wouldn't be too farfetched really.

I'm pretty sure the title is just being satire about the current situation. He aimed to catch your attention through the title alome and it clearly worked, but next time read between the lines. The guy feels sorry about the situation and I can tell it even across monitor screens.

How could the treasury be hacked? This is one of the most important bodies in the United States.
Plus, what is there to hack if the printed dollars are a physical asset, and if they are stolen, you can print more. Plus the gold that "was once" backed by the dollar is also outside the Internet space.
More like a provocation to tighten regulation.

Ask yourself do you think they use computers on this government institution? And do they store important or even secret information on those computers? And I think the answer is yes to both, most likely information was stolen and in many cases that is way more valuable than whatever money hackers could have gotten since then that information can be sold to other governments for huge profits, and that is if we assume those hackers were acting independently.

[Shasha80]

When I found out that US treasury had been hacked, I was quite surprised and did not think this could happen to US treasury,
which certainly has sophisticated security. But this is the reality, no matter how good the security system, nothing is perfect.
There are always loopholes that can be exploited by hackers, it is no secret that the world of the internet is very dangerous.
Therefore, we must be careful with the personal data we have.

Anything connected to the Internet can be hacked.

As long as you are connected to the internet, hacking is always possible to happen. There are many skillful and talented hackers who are able to intercept fire walls and securities of your devices. In fact, even government and banks who have highly professional security agents get lost when hackers attack.

I can't see any good news to the OP. The bottomline of this is that we must not treat it as good news because after all it is an incident of hacking.

It’s known as sarcasm.  Of course it’s not good news.

US Treasury is starting to admit that it’s been hacked by foreign entities.  This is the same organization who’s pushing to establish oversight and regulation of cryptocurrency exchanges, identifying buyers and sellers.

Nothing new under the sun. Read the following headlines and share in the tragic comedy of my american homeland.  

F-35 Program Costs Jump to $406.5 Billion in Latest Estimate

The cost of the F-35 jet program, already the most expensive U.S. weapons program ever, is estimated to climb further as the plane’s production period gets extended, according to figures submitted to Congress on Monday.

Chinese hackers stole F-35 fighter jet blueprints in Pentagon hack, Edward Snowden documents claim

Chinese hackers stole "many terabytes" of data about the American F-35 stealth fighter jet, new documents provided by NSA whistle-blower Edward Snowden contend.

China proudly debuts its new stealth jet it built 'by hacking into US computers and stealing plans'

Taking to the skies at the airshow in the southern city of Zhuhai, in Guangdong province, the J-20 stealth fighter passed by onlookers in a thunderous demonstration.

The aircraft is believed to have been built in part from plans of US war planes, obtained by Chinese hackers jailed earlier this year – a claim which Beijing has firmly denied.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3893126/Chinese-J-20-stealth-jet-based-military-plans-stolen-hackers-makes-public-debut.html

Imagine spending $400+ billion developing a stealth fighter.

Only to have china steal all of the critical data to build their own equivalent stealth fighter for free.

In another world, this may have been a national embarrassment. As things stand this has become entirely normalized and widespread.

The problem is that cryptocurrency can only be hacked via our wallet not general as we normally expect, OK since hacker's has generate a means to disturbed cryptocurrency especially bitcoin while won't them create a measure to attack fiat banking system, so we know that fiat currency is very difficult to hack, so I think while people penetrate or have access to someone's account is because of review of their passwords, or inability to secure their private keys, it's the only I seen hacker's can easily penetrate.

Everything always moves in the direction of least resistance, so if it is easier for hackers to break into individual wallets, then this will happen. Moreover, in the situation with fiat currencies and with banking structures, you potentially need to make much greater efforts, potentially risking much more attention from law enforcement agencies and going to jail.
