Russian hackers hacked Obama's mail

The American newspaper New York Times claims that Russian hackers who attacked White's computer system at home last year, got access to Barack Obama's unsecured emails.

According to the newspaper, the hacking turned out to be much more serious than the authorities recognized.

Internal secure computer networks were not affected, but hackers got access to unsecured incoming and outgoing letters from the American president.

According to White House officials quoted by the newspaper, hackers failed to get any secret information, but Obama’s schedule, his correspondence with ambassadors and diplomats, and a discussion of appointments, bills and policies could be among the information received by hackers.

According to the publication, many high-ranking officials of the American administration have two computers in their offices - one special, for secret communications, and the second ordinary, for everyday communication.

However, even unclassified correspondence can contain very valuable information for hackers.
