Just reported on Steve Malzberg news a moment ago. I checked online news and they are not reporting anything yet. I'm wondering if this is a new hack attack or an attack that happened recently. Malzberg didn't have that information and nothing is showing online yet. I did find this news story about an attack several months ago.
Hackers breach some White House computers - The Washington Post
Hackers thought to be working for the Russian government breached the unclassified White House computer networks in recent weeks, sources said, resulting in temporary disruptions to some services while cybersecurity teams worked to contain the intrusion.
White House officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation, said that the intruders did not damage any of the systems and that, to date, there is no evidence the classified network was hacked.
“In the course of assessing recent threats, we identified activity of concern on the unclassified Executive Office of the President network,” said one White House official. “We took immediate measures to evaluate and mitigate the activity. . . . Unfortunately, some of that resulted in the disruption of regular services to users. But people were on it and are dealing with it.”

Apparently whoever was "on it" didn't get "on it" very thoroughly. For this news story to break this evening is quite alarming because it sounds like Russia is becoming very bold in their actions towards this administration. As the story is still unfolding I suppose we will find out more later.
