BREAKING: US Treasury Reportedly Breached by Hackers Backed by a Foreign Government

The US Treasury was reportedly breached by foreign backed hackers.

Reuters is reporting this evening:

A sophisticated hacking group backed by a foreign government stole information from the U.S. Treasury Department and a U.S. agency responsible for deciding policy around the internet and telecommunications, according to people familiar with the matter.

One cyber specialist commented that acts like this could be perpetrated by armies in an information and cyber security war:
