  "summary": "U.S. officials have revised their earlier claims that government agencies were hacked by Chinese state-sponsored hackers, now stating that the agencies were among the targets of the hackers. The Department of Justice clarified that the U.S. Senate, the Federal Reserve, NASA, and other agencies were \"among the targets of QTFY,\" a Chinese hacking group, during a domain seizure operation. The DOJ made this correction to ensure the press release accurately reflects the government's allegations in the affidavit supporting the domain seizures.",
