Cyber Attack Hits White House Military Office - World Affairs
Two views, I hope it was an unclassified network:
The Military Office is responsible for, among other things, the
“football,” the suitcase device that permits the president to transmit
commands to the country’s strategic nuclear forces. “This is the most
sensitive office in the US government,” a former American intelligence
official, speaking to the Free Beacon, said.
The White House has tried to minimize the incident. “This was a spear
phishing attack against an unclassified network,” said White House
spokesman Jay Carney. “In this instance the attack was identified, the
system was isolated, and there is no indication whatsoever that any
exfiltration of data took place.”
