Government Info Security: The hack of the State Department's unclassified systems, revealed over the weekend, and a similar incident involving the White House network, unveiled last month, are linked, an official says.
"We believe that this activity was linked to the incidents connected to the Executive Office of the President a few weeks ago," Jeff Rathke, a State Department spokesman, said during a Sept. 17 press briefing. Asked if other government agencies' systems might have been breached in the same way, he replied: "I don't have a broader conclusion to draw than that at this time."
