Russian Hackers Read Obama's Emails
2015-04-26
Some of President Barack Obama's email correspondence was swept up by Russian hackers last year, in a breach of the White House's unclassified computer system that was far more intrusive and worrisome than has been publicly acknowledged, senior American officials told The New York Times on Saturday.

The hackers, who also got deeply into the State Department's unclassified system, do not appear to have penetrated closely guarded servers that control the message traffic from Obama's BlackBerry, which he or an aide carries constantly, the officials said.

#2  And the hackers were amazed at how insipid they were. "It's like a bunch of 12-year old girls meeting up at the mall," said Ivan Putski.

Snark of the day.

#1  Hey NYT - when Obama is using e-mail to coordinate his surrender to Iran with Vladimir Putin (perhaps standing in for Frank Marshall Davis), tht's not "hacking".
