WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Suspicious cyber activity has been detected on the computer network used by the White House and measures have been taken to address it, a White House official disclosed on Tuesday. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, would not say who might have been responsible for the activity on what was described as an unclassified computer network used by employees of the Executive Office of the President. "In the course of assessing recent threats we identified activity of concern on the unclassified EOP network. Any such activity is something that we take very seriously. In this case we took immediate measures to evaluate and mitigate the activity," the official said. It was unclear when the activity took place. The official said the technical measures to address the activity had led to limited access to some EOP network services. Some of the issues have been resolved, but the work continues. "Our actions are ongoing and some of our actions have resulted in temporary outages and loss of connectivity for some EOP users," the official said. A second administration official said there were no indications at this time that classified networks had been affected. The White House, like many government entities in Washington, frequently faces cyber threats.

Hey, Barak, you been cruising those gay porn sites again?
Well, Facebook is down right now, so...
It’s amazing that things have come to the point where my first thought was it was the White House behind the “suspicious activity.”
Turn about is fair play. Perhaps it was a CBS reporter.
I think they are pre-emptively losing E-mails! /S
Porn?
We should not be worried about porn sites — let them visit them all they want.
We should be more concerned about Muslim Brotherhood and national security.
MSM ‘official’ election headquarters?
“Hey Vlad, what do I do now?”
Obola was asked to close his grindr account...
Either that or hacking Sharyl Atkisson’s computer.
Anytime anything bad happens anywhere in our country, my first thought is always that obama and or his administration are behind it. It's sad but that's how it is for so many of us out here.
Maybe it was former cbs reporter Sharyl Attkisson returning the favor....
She was spied upon by the obama administration.
“... what was described as an unclassified computer network used by employees of the Executive Office of the President.”
This must be the one where they keep the off the record e-mail used in daily operations, political fund raising and for dirty tricks....not the other other one which is subject to inspection by the public and congressional investigators.
Trying to preempt the Atkinson computer hacking crime.
I smell the White House all over this.
HEY, MAYBE THEY HAVE COMMITTED ANOTHER WATERGATE “PLUMBERS” JOB ON SHARYL.
Inquiring minds with long memories want to know!
