Russian hackers who were behind a breach at the State Department also hit sensitive parts of the White House computer system, a report on Tuesday said.
U.S. officials familiar with the investigation told CNN that hackers had access to nonpublic and real-time details on President Barack Obama’s schedule. U.S. officials said the information is quite sensitive and is highly valuable to foreign intelligence agencies.
Investigators think the hackers broke into the State Department and used it as a base to hack into the White House. One official told the news outlet that Russian hackers have “owned” the State Department’s computer network, noting they’ve been able to re-enter the systems.
