Russians hacked DOD’s unclassified networks

Russian hackers broke into unclassified networks at the Department of Defense (DOD) earlier this year, Pentagon chief Ashton Carter disclosed Thursday. 
The department was able to quickly identify the perpetrators and kick them off the network in a way that minimized the intrusion, Carter said. 
The previously unacknowledged hack illustrates the threat from Russian hackers against U.S. government agencies.
