White House Cites a Breach by Hackers


Hackers recently breached an unclassified computer network used by President Obama’s senior staff, a White House official said Tuesday night.

Russia suspected to be behind White House hack

Hackers thought to be working for the Kremlin breached the unclassified White House computer network, officials said.
The Russians have been heavily engaged in cyber war with the US since the US objected to their aggression in Ukraine.
