Updated | The Russian government is responsible for a known cyber hack on the White House, according to a new report by CNN. In a segment with reporter Evan Perez, CNN said the hackers were able to access President Barack Obama's schedule and call information.

This cyberattack on presidential privacy is related to a 2014 hack of the State Department, unnamed sources told CNN. One official said the hackers "owned" the State Department system during the hack, though the implications of this description are unknown. Experts told CNN the hack spread from the State Department to the White House through a phishing email sent from a State Department email address.

Classified information is not believed to have been obtained by the hackers, though U.S. officials told the news network that the information accessed was "sensitive."


The FBI and Secret Service are involved in investigating the hack.

“This report is not referring to a new incident – it is speculating on the attribution of the activity of concern on the unclassified EOP network that the White House disclosed last year. Any such activity is something we take very seriously. In this case, as we made clear at the time, we took immediate measures to evaluate and mitigate the activity. As has been our position, we are not going to comment on the referenced article’s attribution to specific actors," the White House said in a statement.

That's it? I was hoping for something a bit more tenable, not the ramblings of a conservative magazine and an obscure conservative blog.

The State Department computer system has been bedeviled by signs that despite efforts to lock them out, the Russian hackers have been able to reenter the system. One official says the Russian hackers have "owned" the State Department system for months and it is not clear the hackers have been fully eradicated from the system.

1. It's not obscure.

2. Why does it matter if it's conservative ? The author isn't even a republican or that conservative. He's an ex-Intel officer and understands national security.
