A Russian cyber attack around July 25 shut down the Pentagon’s Joint
Chiefs of Staff’s unclassified email system for 11 days and affected
around 4,000 military and civilian personnel who work for the Joint
Chiefs. No classified information was taken or put at risk.
Only unclassified email accounts were infiltrated.The Joint Chiefs of Staff has not said anything publically about the breach, but news reports said investigators believe it to be the work of a Russian hacker group. The same group got inside the State Department's unclassified system last year and also accessed parts of the White House network, gaining access to some correspondence sent and received by President Obama.Is Russia really involved? Let us know your thoughts here at the Cloud and Cyber Security Center.
