White House Admits Russian Hackers Read Obama's Unclassified Emails
It appears a breach of the White House’s unclassified computer system last year was far more intrusive and worrisome than has been publicly acknowledged. As The NY Times reports, some of President Obama’s email correspondence was swept up by Russian hackers who also got deeply into the State Department’s unclassified system. "This has been one of the most sophisticated actors we’ve seen," according to one official, and while Mr. Obama’s BlackBerry was not penetrated, officials have conceded that the unclassified system routinely contains much information that is considered highly sensitive.
The discovery of the hacking in October led to a partial shutdown of the White House email system. The hackers appear to have been evicted from the White House systems by the end of October. But they continued to plague the State Department, whose system is much more far-flung. The disruptions were so severe that during the Iranian nuclear negotiations in Vienna in November, officials needed to distribute personal email accounts, to one another and to some reporters, to maintain contact. But as The New York Times reports,
White House officials said that no classified networks had been compromised, and that the hackers had collected no classified information. Many senior officials have two computers in their offices, one operating on a highly secure classified network and another connected to the outside world for unclassified communications.
But officials have conceded that the unclassified system routinely contains much information that is considered highly sensitive: schedules, email exchanges with ambassadors and diplomats, discussions of pending personnel moves and legislation, and, inevitably, some debate about policy.
Officials did not disclose the number of Mr. Obama’s emails that were harvested by hackers, nor the sensitivity of their content.
...
Still, the fact that Mr. Obama’s communications were among those hit by the hackers — who are presumed to be linked to the Russian government, if not working for it — has been one of the most closely held findings of the inquiry. Senior White House officials have known for months about the depth of the intrusion.
“This has been one of the most sophisticated actors we’ve seen,” said one senior American official briefed on the investigation.
Others confirmed that the White House intrusion was viewed as so serious that officials met on a nearly daily basis for several weeks after it was discovered. “It’s the Russian angle to this that’s particularly worrisome,” another senior official said.
...
Officials who discussed the investigation spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the delicate nature of the hacking. While the White House has refused to identify the nationality of the hackers, others familiar with the investigation said that in both the White House and State Department cases, all signs pointed to Russians.
Finally, it appears the most-classified American secrets remain that way for now...
The White House is bombarded with cyberattacks daily, not only from Russia and China. Most are easily deflected.
The White House, the State Department, the Pentagon and intelligence agencies put their most classified material into a system called Jwics, for Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications System. That is where top-secret and “secret compartmentalized information” traverses within the government, to officials cleared for it — and it includes imagery, data and graphics. There is no evidence, senior officials said, that this hacking pierced it.
So once again the "most transparent" administration ever is forced to admit what they previously said was a lie and that things were worse...

Russian Hacker #1: "Who is Reggie and what is pivot man?"
mz hillary's reach is mighty deep. And we're about to find out the same thing just happened to have also happened with her very own "private" email server
while Mr. Obama’s BlackBerry was not penetrated,
If this is a euphemism then Obama's Blackberry has penetrated the world.
After reading the article I was curious who handles WH email security (assuming it's the SS, but I wasn't sure). Since we're so damned sure it was the Ruskies breaking in, I thought it might be a good idea to figure out who they beat to get in.
So I Googled it. Nothing doing. You get links to about 6 different government agencies but no clear answer.
Hold on. Somebody knocking at the door. BRB...
So this wasn't Bush's fault?
What the hell?
OK, let's fall back to our perennial favorites:
1.) Russia
2.) China
3.) Racist white people
4.) You didn't build that
5.) I didn't know about it until I saw it on Faux News
just cover for hillary boobus's e-mail problem........see even the president has been hacked.......boobus americanus is a complete saint not using .gov e-mail. how smart of her to have the vision to see sec. of state e-mail weaknesses.....brillant this woman is......
I'd be willing to bet they got some classified ones too. But the White House won't admit that.
The only two sources of this revelation are White House officials and The New York Times. Nah, neither of those entities ever lie.
....Russian hacker #2..."Does 'whiteman's disease' allude to some novel bio warfare virus desined to eliminate all the anglos?
Mr. Obama’s BlackBerry was not penetrated.
We can't, however, vouch for any other personal item that might have been...
Russian Hacker #2: "Who is Michael and what is gerbilling?"
So presumably they know all about Reggie Rove
Karl Rove
Reggie Love
No doubt they're both gay but to have both in one? Please, it's a Sunday.
"Reggie, I got a stiffy, Michelle and the girls are out shopping. Oval Office in ten?"
<< Russian hackers who also got deeply into the State Department’s unclassified system. >>
I hope for their sakes, not TOO DEEP! For goodness sake ... pleeeze spare me!!
However, my guess is these Russkies now know some Top Secret stuff: like what size Victoria's Secret laced thong underwear Hillary's Team wears.
the "classified" stuff was all on his private server, you see, so it's impossible for that to have been read...or seen
best,
Reggie
Plus these was secret service guarding the server.
Inbetween running a train on some hookers and blow.
Saving the whales.
Saving children.
Top notch, this shit just writes itself.
Russian hackers are from Utah, right?
You mean Bluffdale, UT, bro?
imagine what happened to Hillary's personal emails if White House can get hacked ... and she doesnt even care ...
remember, who do you want to answer the phone call at 3:00am?
Now they also know bill Clinton favorite toothbrush...... Oral-B
and what the definition of IS IS ... he has been ahead of our times ... ciao :)

Crucified: Ukraine’s US-backed Azov Nazis nail pro-Russia fighter to cross, burned alive (VIDEO)
I don't think duct tape = nails.
It cuts off at the end before anything happens. The nut tap was a bonus.
Stop spreadding state propaganda, that's exactly what they want, you cunt.
Maybe we should ask the Russians for a copy of the Fed's annual report.
Surely it's just a golf itinerary, where's the harm?
nothing the Tribe hasnt already read or watched on video
Release that information . The American fool public has a need to know what that cocksucker says about them.
The Chinese already hacked Obozo's classified emails.
Russians aren't as good as the Chinese.
Russians are bad and Chinese are good.
This completes your subliminal programing for today.
i don't know why everyone doesn't just hack the israelis to know what the usa is doing. they have been inside since the 60s. deep throat told you that much if you were listening.
Problem there is that they also play chess rather than checkers...all their hackable info is disinfo....of course Hillary and Obummer's emails might also be described as disinfo.
Well, he ran under the platform of total transparency....too bad that only included Russian citizens.
"White House Admits Russian Hackers Read Obama's Unclassified Emails"
Yeah, and MH-17 was shot down by Russian backed rebels, Adam Lanza shot up Sandy Hook, and Oswald shot JFK.
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission.
"They lie about everything. Why would they lie about this?"
Here are two big reasons behind the declining American influence worldwide.One is cheap access to sophisticated military technology and the other is alternate financial options besides the Dollar:

Who needs Washington's political hacks and scum like Victoria Nuland?These types of morons:

And the U.S. supports these terrorists too;http://rt.com/news/253181-putin-interview-us-militants/
Conclusion is that Washington,The EU leadership and Cameron and gang from England are all fascist assholes.
"Here are two big reasons behind the declining American influence"
1) Zionist plunder
2) Use as Zion's war dog.
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission.
I withdraw my consent to the US. And I never gave Zion consent.
Russian hackers got into their email? They should have used better encryption.
Off topic, but I just saw the Brady Bunch Mom singing 'On the road again' arranged as a show tune in a blue cowgirl dress on the 'Love Boat'.
Everything's spinning and beginning to go dark. Is there no God?
Not when http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeh_Johnson aka "the trigger man" is working to "find solutions" to encryption.
By solutions, I mean backdoors.
By back doors, he means "up yours".
The revolving door is being set up with DHS office right in Silly-con Valley http://abc7news.com/technology/worlds-largest-cyber-security-conference-...
Enjoy, slaves!
I'd fuck with the hackers like, "We attack at dawn" and, "We've got those hackers right where we want them", And, "Yo mama wears combat boots."
The NYT should ask the hackers for Clinton's e-mails.
I didn't know Obama knew how to use a computer.
Checkers and chess bitches. Checkers and chess.
So presumably our Secretary of State Hillary Clinton never once needed to use the super secure communications system? Or was her homebrew server even more secure since secret service agents were out on her lawn? /sarc
Some folks will now have to go to Ukraine..... O'Blacky will never let a good opportunity go to waste.
'President' obama?? Really?
You know it's over when some two bit, dumb-assed CIA punk becomes "the leader".
Barry the fag is not legit.
.
Did they read chalky's love letters to Reggie?
Why does the president have a classified and unclassified email address?
They aren't worth reading. They are from his teleprompting agency.
Obongo loves it when they say he was penetrated. Reggie Reggie Reggie
It may be detrimental to the wellbeing of a healthy russian hacker to read the email traffic of the US president. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for potential side effects.
Was this piece of news supposed to be a plug for Blackberry?
Even the more mentally challenged would be hacker is aware that Obama's email accounts are frivolous.
Would the Deep State entrust this tool with anything deemed important?
Still amazes me that there are folks out there who belief Barry has been anything other than a useful idiot, in line with his predecessors.
is this too early a hack?
http://rt.com/news/253181-putin-interview-us-militants/
Probably. The White House janitorial staff would have recently deleted anything that had been around that long.
So who would want to read the idiots emails more. Russia who does not give two shits about the United States or Israel who does not exist without the United States. Hmmm
And look who reported this story.
More bullshit from President Pinocchio, the most dishonest politician ever in America.
I'm convinced he is only doing what he is told. Has been most of his life. The fake phony Mrs. Clinton? Now that's a dishonest politician. Wow! She's been up to no good for decades. I believe I found this link in a ZH post a couple of weeks ago -

Fuck someone has to read them.... He doesn't have the time between sleeping until noon, golfing and felating Reggie and drone-striking every country on the planet, what's a girl to do?
I can confirm that his blackberry was penetrated..........
