You can't believe this report I came across in the Telegraph UK,the e-mail account of the President of the most powerful, the most technologically advanced and the most sophisticated country in security matters, hacked and you can only imagine by who.
Read the report after the cut
Russian hackers who penetrated sensitive parts of the White House computer system last year read President Barack Obama's unclassified emails, according to reports.
The White House confirmed the breach earlier this month, saying it took place last year and that it did not affect classified information, but it has emerged that the breach had been "far more intrusive and worrisome than has been publicly acknowledged."
It said that although no classified networks had been compromised, officials conceded that the unclassified system still contains highly sensitive information such as email exchanges with diplomats, exchanges about personnel moves and legislation, presidential schedules and discussion about policy.
Officials did not disclose the number of Mr Obama's emails that were read by the hackers nor the sensitivity of their content, the New York Times said. It added that the president's email account itself was apparently not hacked.
The paper said that Senior White House officials had known for months about the depth of the intrusion.
White House officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Saturday's report.
