State actor suspected in cyber intrusion on US military email
The unclassified email network at the US military's Joint Staff has been offline since late July after what investigators now believe was a sophisticated cyber attack likely linked to a foreign state, US officials said on Thursday.
The officials, who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity, did not say what country was to blame. NBC cited unnamed officials attributing the intrusion to Russia, saying however it was unclear whether it was the work of Russian government or individuals.
