Chinese Hackers Breach White House Government Computers
Now isn’t this special? Don’t worry your pretty little heads about it though because we are really, really close to finding Jimmy Hoffa’s long dead body.
White House sources partly confirmed an alarming report that U.S. government computers—reportedly including systems used by the military for nuclear commands—were breached by Chinese hackers.
“This was a spear phishing attack against an unclassified network,” a White House official told FoxNews.com. “These types of attacks are not infrequent and we have mitigation measures in place.”
A law enforcement official who works with members of the White House Military Office confirmed the Chinese attack to FoxNews.com on Monday, but it remains unclear what information, if any, was taken or left behind.
“This [White House Communications Agency] guy opened an email he wasn’t supposed to open,” the source said.

Cyber attacks have become a really big issue. So big I have heard the FBI say this will be their #1 priority in just a couple more years.
