Another thread that I think offers some context a bit less 'scary' than this [1]. Most of the stuff the invaders could of had easy access to - eg in a Member's office - is not that important, consider what is leaked to the press strategically for politics every day.
I'd be more concerned about listening devices especially key committee Members and staff e.g. foreign relations LAs
I don't have firsthand knowledge of the non-classified working computers of Congress but maybe someone can confirm if IT used SolarWinds and their network is already compromised.
* also individual Member offices are treated basically like businesses in a lot of ways. e.g. the Member can contract/share hire their own IT helpers too. i can't find a source quickly but a few years ago remember the article about some guy working for a few Dems being a dumb ass
* * I'll also add that almost any US citizen can get a meeting inside a Member's office. A house member directly or with a staffer. I'm sure there are a ton of listening devices that metal detectors wouldn't find and that are quick to place surreptitiously
