According to officials, this cyber intrusion was first noticed in 2010, which begs the question: why has it taken them so long to do anything about it? And let’s not forget that this spans the time period in which the Hillary Clinton email scandal took place.
China’s cyber spies have accessed the private emails of “many” top Obama administration officials, according to a senior U.S. intelligence official and a top secret document obtained by NBC News, and have been doing so since at least April 2010.
The email grab — first codenamed “Dancing Panda” by U.S. officials, and then “Legion Amethyst” — was detected in April 2010, according to a top secret NSA briefing from 2014. The intrusion into personal emails was still active at the time of the briefing and, according to the senior official, is still going on.
In 2011, Google disclosed that the private gmail accounts of some U.S. officials had been compromised, but the briefing shows that private email accounts from other providers were compromised as well.
The “Dancing Panda” campaign revealed in the 2014 NSA briefing paper was among more than 30 “intrusion sets” launched by China that the NSA and other intelligence units identified last year in classified documents.
The NSA declined to comment.
In this new digital age, countries can go to war with each other without actually firing a bullet. This is why cyber-security should be a priority for the government. However, with all of the scandal surrounding these hacks and the complete disregard certain government officials have shown for sensitive information, this could be just the beginning.
