FOX News: Russian hackers attacked top military brass' unclassified email system, ex-Joint Chiefs chairman says
Russian hackers attacked the unclassified email system used by the Joint Chiefs of Staff in August 2015, a former top military officer confirmed to Fox News late Thursday.

Spying is as old as the humanity. Today, computers are just an additional tool, and we are using it too.
That's fair to say hacking is bad, but that's a little bit naive. We know the threat and the only pertinent answer is to develop anti hacking tools as we have an anti spy service.
Well golly gee, I thought it was interference from all those political weasels, like Obama, Carter, McCain,etc, all those ass kissing Generals that moron Obama appointed and the lobbyist from all the major arms manufactures, that screwed everything up, I guess I was wrong, but it was the Russian hackers after all, boy was I wrong.
