Washington (CNN) Russian hackers behind the damaging cyber intrusion of the State Department in recent months used that perch to penetrate sensitive parts of the White House computer system, according to U.S. officials briefed on the investigation.

While the White House has said the breach only ever affected an unclassified system, that description belies the seriousness of the intrusion. The hackers had access to sensitive information such as real-time non-public details of the president’s schedule. While such information is not classified, it is still highly sensitive and prized by foreign intelligence agencies, U.S. officials say.

The White House in October said it noticed suspicious activity in the unclassified network that serves the executive office of the president. The system has been shut down periodically to allow for security upgrades.

The FBI, Secret Service and U.S. intelligence agencies are all involved in investigating the breach, which they consider among the most sophisticated attacks ever launched against U.S. government systems.

Soon we’ll be told how brilliant Hillary was to have set up her own system to avoid such hackage.

You might be on to something...Stay away from Fort Marcy Park...

"To get to the White House, the hackers first broke into the State Department, investigators believe."

This has her highness stink on it, although the article takes pains to point that the hack occurred AFTER she left. Yeah, right.

Could be, but Hillary’s private email server was a leaky faucet and highly vulnerable to hackers in many experts’ opinions.

If the Russians can hack into the White House and State Department just imagine how easy it will be for an enemy to hack into our simple little voting machines in 2016 and obtain the “right” results!
