    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    In a tweet, the Republican congressman from Nebraska said the FBI notified him on Monday that the Chinese government “hacked into my personal and campaign emails from May 15th to June 16th of this year,” citing a previously disclosed vulnerability in Microsoft’s cloud.

    Earlier news reports confirmed that the hackers are also known to have accessed the inboxes of U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo and U.S.

    In another tweet, Bacon said he will “work overtime” to ensure Taiwan receives the billions of dollars in U.S. weapons it ordered to defend against a potential future invasion by China.

    Several other members of Congress have called on the Justice Department and the Federal Trade Commission to investigate the Microsoft cloud breach.

    The U.S. Cyber Security Review Board, set up in 2021 and tasked with investigating and identifying recommendations in the wake of major security incidents, said this week that its third-ever investigation will focus on a broader review of cloud-based identity and authentication infrastructure, stemming from Microsoft’s cloud breach.

    The board previously investigated the impact from the Log4j vulnerability and the recent cyberattacks targeting big tech companies by the Lapsus$ hacking group.
