"The discovery of the hacking in October led to a partial shutdown of the White House email system. The hackers appear to have been evicted from the White House systems by the end of October. But they continued to plague the State Department, whose system is much more far-flung."

"Officials told NBC News it is believed the Russians got into the system through State Department computers."

"The NSA and FBI prevailed over the intruders, who were working for a Russian spy agency. Private sector analysts gave the hacking group various names, including Cozy Bear, APT29 and The Dukes. The group also compromised unclassified systems at the White House and in Congress..."

"But an index of the messages compiled by the unnamed foreign ally showed that they included emails from President Barack Obama as well as members of Congress."
