The Embassy revealed that the United States had identified a suspected compromise of the organisation’s computer network between July and August 2026.
The identity of the regional organisation has not been disclosed.
“The US Embassy in Suva recently informed the Government of Fiji and a regional organization based in Suva that the United States has identified a suspected compromise of this organization’s network between July and August 2026,” the statement said.
“Hackers with links to China maintained access to the organization’s network over several days.”
