White House security breach again – computers hacked

White House security has been breached yet again – this time it is the computer system that has reportedly been hacked into bbc.com. While everyone is tightlipped, this is believed to have been a state sponsored activity with fingers of suspicion pointing towards the Russians.

It seems the network that had been targeted was the unclassified Executive Office of the President network and the US authorities are investigating the breach, which was reported to officials by an ally of the US. Obviously, the system in use at the White House was unable to detect the breach.
White House officials are not revealing details of the nature of data that had been stolen except that "some elements of the unclassified network" had been affected.
The attack came to surface a couple of weeks earlier and the staff of the White House were instructed to change their passwords and there was some disruption to network services.

Officials have admitted that the computers and systems have not been damaged but some elements of the unclassified network have been affected. The US's National Security Agency, Federal Bureau of Investigation and Security Service were reportedly investigating.
