Federal officials say Chinese hackers broke into the networks of the Government Accountability Office and the Government Printing Office back in March. While news of Chinese cyber attacks on federal agencies isn’t unprecedented, the March attacks, first reported by the New York Times, have some observers scratching their heads. They say it’s unclear why those two agencies would be targeted — particularly in the case of GPO. Steve Bucci is director of the Douglas and Sarah Allison Center for Foreign and National Security Policy at the Heritage Foundation. He’s also former deputy assistant Defense secretary. He said the attacks shouldn’t come as a surprise on In Depth with guest host Jared Serbu.
