The entire article:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A sophisticated hacking group backed by a foreign government stole information from the U.S. Treasury Department and a U.S. agency responsible for deciding policy around the internet and telecommunications, according to people familiar with the matter.

What actual information is here? Almost nothing. Less than nothing. Who does this release of nothingness help?

I would urge caution as well on that front.

A sophisticated hacking group backed by a foreign government

according to people familiar with the matter.

Reuters is not a reliable news relay and has been long known for reporting misleading and unverified trash fitting the same formula as this for fodder for conspiracy theories such as the ridiculous claim that Trump is a effectively member of the KGB.

Without more information that's not so obfuscated this is a completely useless publication. Actually if it turns out to be true and it's the Chinese then Reuters will probably just quote someone who thinks Russia is behind it and publish that instead.

Russia, USA and China are always hacking each other. They only tell you what's actually going on when they need you to do something for them or they're going to do something and need you to go along with it.

You will never ever in your life time see the full story in the news.

It's been a financial cold war for years and then they released a biological weapon against us and destroyed our economy. We are no longer "close". It is a war without bullets or bombs. Yet.

In all honesty it could just as well could be the CIA responsible considering their funding from the Pentagon has been stripped.
