Pepe, “Kekius Maximus,” & A Chinese Hack of the U.S. Treasury 12/31/24

In what U.S. Treasury officials described as a “major incident,” a state-sponsored Chinese hacking operation was able to access third-party software to tap into Treasury employees’ desktop computers. Theresa Payton, CEO of cybersecurity company Fortalice Solutions and former White House Chief Information Officer, discusses the implications of the hack. Next, CNBC’s Emily Wilkins breaks down why the last session of Congress is the least productive in the past several decades, enacting 427 pieces of legislation compared to numbers over 1,000 during other recent sessions. Plus, New York City congestion pricing is set to start as planned after a final ruling, and Elon Musk changed his name on X to “Kekius Maximus” and profile picture to Pepe the Frog. Happy New Year!
