Russian hackers allegedly have violated the White House computer systems. As he says CNN, managed to gain access to President Obama's non-public program.
US officials say it was one of the most advanced cyber attacks ever made against government networks in the country.
The White House for its part reports that the hackers managed to access only unclassified information, and that the attack has been moderated.
Such a statement could very well be made only to reassure the public. but according to the video we publish below, maybe the announcement of the White House is correct.
Worryingly, the attack began months ago, when hackers managed to gain access to State Department systems with a simple attack Phishing.
A government employee allegedly clicked on a fake link that came with one message email and contained malware in the attachments. The malware allowed attackers to penetrate the State Department's network of thousands of computers with great ease. It is no coincidence that security experts are more concerned about the factor of human error and not so much about the systems themselves.
In the following video, Obama's National Security Advisor, Ben Rhodes, reports that the White House uses a separate network to distribute classified information.
In this case, we can mention that indeed governments, secret services, and big companies use different networks for the diamovement sensitive information.
