Russian government hackers are behind the breach at the US Treasury and Commerce departments, says a report.
The hackers have been able to monitor email traffic within the departments for months, and it is not known how many other federal agencies they may have compromised.
Now the FBI is investigating the campaign by the hacking group working for the Russian foreign intelligence service, SVR, according to the Washington Post.
The hackers, who are known as Cozy Bear or APT29, are reportedly the same group that hacked the White House and State Department under the Obama administration.

This happens because our network is too antiquated. We are running off servers from the late 60's.
