Evidence n0t only points to China as the culprit behind “the most significant breach in U.S. History,” but the hackers may have been sponsored by the Chinese government, The Hill reports.

It’s not only looking very likely that someone located in China hacked the U.S.
“It was perhaps nation-state sponsored because of the way it was done,” he said. “It was done for espionage.”
“This is an area where there are no rules to the game,” McCaul added. “It raises all sorts of issues for Americans.”
