From your Greenwich link:

“With midterm elections heating up last year, in an effort to fire up the Democratic base, Jen became something of a point man for attacks on the Republicans via the White House blog.”

Hmmmm...go figure.

For Immediate Release
October 01, 2012
Press Gaggle by Press Secretary Jay Carney, 10/1/12

Westin Lake Las Vegas
Las Vegas, Nevada

EXCERPT

Q We saw the cyber-attack information from a background source. But — (laughter) —

MS. PSAKI: Never heard of that guy.

Q You never heard of that guy. However, one newspaper reported that the cyber-attack was specifically on the White House Military Office, which supposedly controls the nuclear launch codes. Any response to that specifically?

MR. CARNEY: The attack you’ve mentioned was what’s known as a spear-phishing attack against an unclassified network. Let’s be clear — this is an unclassified network. These types of attacks are not infrequent, and we have mitigation measures in place. In this instance, the attack was identified, the system was isolated, and there is no indication whatsoever that any exfiltration of data took place. Moreover, there was never any impact or attempted breach of any classified system.

Q So what does the network control if it’s unclassified?

MR. CARNEY: I’m sorry?

Q If that network is unclassified, then what does it control? What is it in charge of? What information is stored in that network?

MR. CARNEY: Well, I’m not going to get into specifics about classified and unclassified networks, except that there are distinctions between those networks that have — contain classified information and those that don’t. And the attack was against an unclassified network.
