White House Hacked

" There are so many questions that are being raised today about a series of cyber attacks on White House computer -- this is not what you want to hear. But top secret classified networks want cracked this time. How sensitive though was -- information that was obtained from our government and was another government responsible. Robert Shelton. Supervisory special agent for the FBI's counter terrorism division it's great to have you with us Roberts thanks for being here. Let's talk about this first evolve they say that it was a very targeted attack what information -- day after and who was responsible."

" Basically what we see here -- as long as governments are going to be using the Internet for communication purposes. They're also going to be. The vulnerable to intrusions and this computer intrusion was. They don't know whether it was done at the behest of the Chinese Government. It's hard to prove but it was done in China in it was a series of tax provision dating back to semi. Yes Mike Peters is back in Protestants are some servers back there that's exactly where they came back to but it proof I -- governments have been spying on other governments for thousands of years what's."

" The White House and they got information about both the McCain campaign and the Obama campaign. It can we protect ourselves any better who's who's at fault here."

" Well exit and no one's really at fault here the problem is is trying to safeguard -- information and that say."

" Or any information comes back to this point here is were we need to make sure that employees. These governments are part. Protect themselves -- and the Internet. And when they speak of on classified matters that should be -- with the Chinese do you hear their method of attack is going into the systems briefly trying not to be detected. Trying to siphon out as much information as they can without being detected then going through that information and trying to find out nuggets of information may prove helpful to them."

" What won't give me an example of we don't know specifically maybe to this case it lets you do I'd I'd really be interested. What information would they be looking for is it more about sending a message that they can do this."

" Well probably two two fold. The Chinese. Are looking actively looking for loopholes insistence to go into. The United States is not the first government they've supposedly attacked this year the Belgian government the United Kingdom government the German government they have repeatedly gone into other. Governments and attacked their systems now here hypothetically to think they're going into the White House unclassified computer. Trying to access information on McCain and president elect Obama. The only real information -- going to get off of unclassified computer system at the White House is going to be. Basically policies and procedures right on that the next administration's gonna have I know that."

" Also that we've taken some steps not allowing certain. Members as they travel overseas from the government to take their blackberries and to try to protect this information. Why don't we take steps against -- time we've been against China and other governments that try to do this. Well."

" That the best way to two stop this is too is to prevent it from happening. And that's what they're trying do by prohibiting government employees and also even top level executives from big CEO companies. Four to 500 are not allowing their top executives for. On economic espionage to take their blackberries and laptops over these foreign country before it are we doing the same thing. Yes we are most definitely. All US government officials and travel abroad are warned and he did not -- or blackberries it specifically countries such as Russia and."

" China parade at the good news I guess is the highly classified information was not obtained but when you hear about the White House being infiltrated like that I guess it's better you know and take even further action. Thanks for Dennis Robert."
