Report: 'Sustained Cyberattack' Crippled White House for Two Weeks

Report: 'Sustained Cyberattack' Crippled White House for Two Weeks: A "sustained cyberattack" has crippled the White House for at least two weeks or longer, reports the Huffington Post.

The Obama White House confirmed that it "identified activity of concern on the unclassified EOP [Executive Office of the President] network." The Huffington Post cites sources familiar with the situation as saying that this attack was much more significant than usual cyberattacks and was responsible for "putting the system on the fritz for nearly two weeks, if not longer."

The White House said it was not in a position to offer details.
