Microsoft has reported that China-based hackers have gained access to the email accounts of around 25 organisations, including government agencies.
The US Department of Commerce has been notified of the attack.
US media reported that the State Department had also been targeted by the hackers.
The tech giant said the hackers accessed email accounts by forging digital authentication tokens required by the system.
The tokens are typically used to verify a person's identity.
