White House hacking? and getting hacked

[crp]

I take it that those here involved about security heard/read about the claim by a former CBS reporter that her computer got hacked by government (at behest of WH) officials. We will need to wait for the book to come out before finding out more concrete information about the claims. So far things are quite adding up to fully support the claim.

 

But wonder how many have heard the rumblings about a problem in White House's computer system? Turns out those rumblings were quite true:

The Russians are good and persistent at this sort of stuff. There are volumes of material written about all the bugging materials that were in the USA Embassy during the 70s and 80s.
