It was previously known that hackers had breached computer systems in the U.S. State Department. Now it's being reported by CNN that hackers also breached computer systems in the White House, and gained access to the schedule of President Obama's movements.
With an increasingly hostile Russia on the world stage, such sensitive information could easily have found its way into the hands of terrorists. We -- meaning the West in general, and the U.S. in particular -- need to recognize the Putin-led Russian government as a threat and an enemy. The Russians have physically attacked Georgia and Ukraine in recent years, and now they've launched cyber attacks against America.
Response:
*Increased sanctions against the Russian economy
*Move towards accepting Ukraine and Georgia into NATO
*Arm Ukraine and Georgia to better defend against future Russian invasions
*Cyber warfare against the Russian government and the country's financial systems
If the Russians really want to be our enemies, let's treat them as such!
