Russian hackers spied on Obama in White House

thetimes.co.uk - Hackers working for the Russian government are understood to have broken into White House computers and obtained sensitive information, including real-time glimpses into President Obama’s daily schedule.

The revelation follows a declaration by the president last week that cyber-attacks against the US had become a “national emergency”, as he signed an executive order introducing economic and travel sanctions designed specifically to go after foreign hackers.

It was in response to a string of cyber-attacks launched from abroad against US government and commercial targets, including the hacking of computer systems at Sony Pictures last autumn.
