US State Department Hacked, Unclassified Email Services Compromised
So far, only unclassified systems have been compromised in each of the attacks, and the impact has been minimal, aside from the Postal Service, which may have given up info about certain customers and employees. Email and public website access was temporarily disrupted at the State Department after it detected “activity of concern.” The attack on the State Department seems to have taken place at the same time as the attack on the White House computer systems and may have been related. There is some debate about whether the entire string of attacks are connected to a single hacker or multiple groups. Both Chinese and Russian hackers have been suggested in reports, but none has been accused.
