Foreign-backed hackers stole data from the U.S. Treasury Department and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA).
At the same time, information about which country's authorities are considered to be involved in the incident is not provided.
"The U.S. government is aware of these reports, and we are taking all necessary steps to identify and address any possible issues related to this situation," White House Security Council spokesman John Ulliot told the agency.
According to the agency, after the discovery of the cyberattack, the White House gathered the US National Security Council to discuss the consequences of data theft. The US intelligence community fears that the hackers who carried out the attacks could have used a similar method to break into other government agencies.
