Suspected Russian hackers spied on US federal agencies
FBI to investigate after treasury and commerce departments believed to have been targeted
Suspected Russian hackers have carried out the biggest cyber-raid against the US for more than five years, US officials have said, targeting key government networks including the Treasury and commerce departments. The hackers were able to monitor internal email traffic and may have compromised other government bodies, in what is being described as a highly sophisticated state-level attack. The situation is so grave it led on Saturday to a national security council meeting at the White House. The Trump administration has given few details beyond confirming one of its agencies was breached. It has asked the FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency to investigate, and a hunt is now on to determine the scale of the damage.
