The staffer, who works for Senator Eric Schmitt, shared the details of the briefing on condition that he not be identified by name.

Chinese hackers who subverted Microsoft's email platform earlier this year managed to steal tens of thousands of emails from US State Department accounts, a Senate staffer told Reuters on Wednesday.

The staffer, who attended a briefing of State Department IT officials, said the officials told lawmakers that 60,000 emails were stolen from 10 different State Department accounts. Although the victims weren't named, all but one of them was working on East Asia and the Pacific, he said.

β€œβ€¦ all but one of them was working on East Asia and the Pacific, he said.”

So… How many of the 10 did the Chicoms blackmail for information? We know what kind of stuff these government types put in their emails.

How many sources in China disappeared?

Well, about all I can say to the theft is that I hope that the resulting booty emails from the corrupt SD does as equally bad damage to China as they have to these United States.

AFAIC, the SD contains one of the largest groups of devious, duplicitous, arrogant America-haters on the planet. A bunch of entrenched career leftists masquerading as diplomats.
