Secretary of State John Kerry told the media on Tuesday that Russian and Chinese hackers likely read his e-mail messages.
Kerry explained he writes his e-mails being aware of the possibility they are being read by individuals they are not intended for.
Cyberattacks are an issue that the United States has “raised very, very strongly in our dialogue with the Chinese,” he explained.
Kerry’s comments come just days after the United States accused Russian hackers of being behind a cyberattack on the Pentagon’s e-mail system, targeting information of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Meanwhile, Washington also accused Beijing of being behind the massive data breach against the Office of Personnel Management in April 2015, compromising the personal information of some 21 million current and former federal government employees.
Kerry said cybersecurity would be on the discussion agenda between U.S. President Barack Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping during his visit to Washington in September 2015. (PNA/Sputnik)
