We have exclusive new information tonight about an attack on the pentagon by russian hackers. National security correspondent david martin has learned how last year they seized the email system used by the nations top military officers, the joint chiefs of staff. Reporter thenchairman of the joint chief, Martin Dempsey was alerted to the attack by an early mourning phone call from the director of the National Security agency, admiral mike rogers. Now retired, dempsey told cbs news, the attack was proceeding at an alarming speed. Within an hour hackers had seized control of the unclassified email system used by the pentagons joint staff. The organization of some 4,500 military officers and civilians who work for the chairman. In that time the hackers seized the computer credentials of demsey and hundreds of other senior officers, the passwords and electronic signatures they use the sign on to the network. The only way to stop the attack was to take the network down. The attack, which officials now blame on russia, began with 30,000 emails sent to a west coast university. Of those 30,000, four were forwarded to members of the joint staff and one was opened, allowing the hackers in. Since it was an unclassified network, the attack had no Real Intelligence value. It was not spying but a fullon assault whose only apparent purpose was to cause damage and force the pentagon to replace both hardware and which took about two weeks to accomplish. The motive for the attack was believed to be russian anger at economic sanctions orchestrated by the Obama Administration in response to Vladimir Putins annexation of crimea and interference in ukraine. Cyber attacks have come to be known as weapons of mass disruption, and its now clear russia has used them both to meddle in u. S. Elections and to do harm to the american military. Scott .

The hack that ultimately breeched computers at the Democratic National committee began in the summer of 2015. These arent super sphis kateed attacks. Lawsuit. Reporter clint watts is a fellow at George Washington university. What russia does well is they target key people that they want to again information from, and they do it on a large scale, hitting thousands of people over the course of time. Reporter today in japan, Russian Foreign minister Sergei Lavrov told reporters the accusations are silly and futile, and president elect trump tweeted, if russia or some other entity was hacking, why did the white house wait so long to act . Why did they only complain after hillary lost . But mr. Trump is wrong. The Obama Administration did publicly blame russia for the hacks in early october. Thats a full month before the election, but, scott, other than its statement, it is unclear what, if anything, the u. S. Has done to retaliate. Pelley jeff pegues in our washington newsroom.
