The US government is still trying to assess the damage from a massive, 9-month long computer hack on some of our government s most classified networks.
The hacking operation, disclosed publicly Sunday, began as far back as March, when much of the federal government and many of America s largest companies installed a software update on their IT networks that included malware called SUNBURST, which could lie dormant for weeks to avoid detection.
One security expert told CBN News that on a scale of one to ten, this hack was a ten.
Government officials admit they were stunned by the sophistication of the hack, and that many of America s most deeply held secrets may have been stolen.
