Democrats seek answers in State Department cyber-attack

None

A US House oversight committee demanded answers Monday about a suspected cyber-attack that has shut down the State Department's unclassified email system. In a letter to Secretary of State John Kerry, Democratic lawmakers on the House Government Oversight Committee requested details about the data breach -- including when it was first discovered.

 

The letter from Rep. Elijah Cummings, a Democrat, also asked what steps the State Department has taken to protect its information systems since the attack.
