Sometimes it is difficult to get rid of some squatters. Last November, the US Department of Foreign Affairs had discovered the presence of pirates in its computer network and, in particular, in its dedicated email unclassified exchanges. Emergency measures were taken, such as the decision of this email.


But the squatters are still there. According to sources from Bloomberg and The Wall Street Journal , the Department still has not managed to eject intruders from its network. The latter would be particularly agile and would change constantly attack strategies to retain and preserve remote access to certain computers. As soon as the system administrators remove malware, it reappears in another form.

The ministry, meanwhile, does not confirm that information. "We have a high security to protect our computer systems and information" , said spokeswoman Jennifer Psaki. She conceded that the attacks against a list of increasingly important public and private institutions were increasing and more sophisticated. "We reject successfully thousands of attacks every day, and we manage them in collaboration with other relevant government agencies " , resumed Jennifer Psaki.

The original computer attack appeared to be linked to the Russian government and the pirates had seized emails related to the crisis in Ukraine, said one of the sources in the Wall Street Journal . The New Cold War also played on the Internet.
