HACKERS ACCESS SOME WHITE HOUSE EMAILS

According to an article published by BNA Internet Law News, "Emails that were going to the highest levels of the White House were ending up with the central authorities in China," said O. Sami Saydjari, president of the Cyber Defense Agency, a consulting firm." Although these emails were not classified, it still brings to light the ability (of people with the expertise) to retrieve information. What is even more disturbing is how often this goes on, whether or not it's made public or not. "The more that you see, the more numb you become to it," said one U.S. official familiar with the White House breach, who added that the mounting volume of attacks are of great concern. This mounting volume of attack is calling attention the fact that security measure presently being taken simply aren't cutting it.
