To get to the White House, the hackers first broke into the State Department, investigators believe.I wander. Is this story an attempt to rescue Hillary from her e-mail troubles?
The State Department computer system has been bedeviled by signs that despite efforts to lock them out, the Russian hackers have been able to reenter the system. One official says the Russian hackers have "owned" the State Department system for months and it is not clear the hackers have been fully eradicated from the system.
As in many hacks, investigators believe the White House intrusion began with a phishing email that was launched using a State Department email account that the hackers had taken over, according to the U.S. officials.

Unless they gained entry via Hillary's unsecured communications.
There was also a power outage at the White House and the State Department.
Theres video of Harf finishing her press conference with the light from her cell phone.
I don't trust anything the White House says.
All it does is sight the utter incompetency of our most sensitive systems. Anyone losing their jobs over how this happened? I haven't heard anything. Whether this is real or not, all it does is highlight more weakness in our highest offices.
No Lem.
IMO, it is a story to further bury Hillay by showing she very careless and reckless by putting already vulnerable State Dept systems at greater risk via her home-brewed server and domain.
I too wander about the same thing, lernly as a clerd wot float on 'igh o'er vales 'n 'ills wot all a'twonce I saw a crowd, an 'oost erv gerlden dafferdills.
Like WWII when we were deciphering the German and Japanese codes faster than they were.
Except we're the Krauts and the Nips this time.
And we all know how it ended.
