Last Friday, for the first time ever, the State Department shut-down its entire worldwide (unclassified) email system for security upgrades. DoS officials believe their system has been hacked. A few weeks ago the White House computer network was hacked followed by that of the National Weather Service and the U.S. Postal Service.

The Associated Press (AP) is reporting,

The official said none of the State Department’s classified systems were affected. However, the official said the department shut down its worldwide email late on Friday as part of a scheduled outage of some of its Internet-linked systems to make security improvements to its main unclassified computer network. The official was not authorized to speak about the matter by name and spoke on condition of anonymity.

The official said the department expects that all of its systems will be operating as normal in the near future, but would not discuss who might be responsible for the breach. Earlier attacks have been blamed on Russian or Chinese attackers, although their origin has never been publicly confirmed.

The State Department is expected to address the shutdown sometime on Monday or Tuesday.
