Trump Admin Admits Russian Intelligence Was Likely Behind Major Hack of U.S. Networks
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Trump administration said Sunday that foreign hackers broke into
government networks - including email servers for the Commerce and
Treasury departments - in what's being described as the biggest breach
of U.S. government data in years. Administration officials acknowledged
the hackers were likely from Russia's intelligence agency. They said a
software flaw gave the hackers access to federal government networks for
months.
