WASHINGTON: Russian hackers have gained access to US President Barack Obama’s Emails, The New York Times said on Saturday.
According to report of New York Times, Emails to and from President Barack Obama were read by Russian hackers last year in a breach of the White House’s unclassified computer system.
Earlier this month, US officials admitted there was a cyber “event” late last year, but refused to confirm reports Russia was behind the attack.
Senior American officials briefed on the investigation, and saying the hackers were presumed to be linked to – or even working for – Moscow.
The hackers, who also got into the State Department’s unclassified system, obtained access to the email archives of people inside the White House, and perhaps some outside, with whom Obama regularly communicated, the Times said.
It was from those accounts that they reached emails that the president had sent and received, according to the officials.
The hackers did not appear to have penetrated the servers that control the message traffic from Obama’s BlackBerry and the White House has said that no classified networks were compromised.
