Report: Obama, McCain Campaigns Both Hacked By ‘Foreign Entity’

Computer systems in both Barack Obama’s and John McCain’s campaigns suffered major breaches. The FBI and Secret Service informed the Obama campaign that a foreign entity or organization may have been after policy positions. Security experts weren’t surprised that the campaigns suffered breaches. Obama’s Website also was hit with a cross-site scripting attack that redirected visitors to Hillary Clinton’s site. Experts in the Obama camp later surmised the attackers were Russian or Chinese, according to the report. The attacks should serve as a wake-up call for future campaigns, expert says.”]
