US Presidential campaigns hacked in foreign intelligence operation

The computer systems of both the Obama and McCain campaigns were attacked and large amounts of information were downloaded by hackers in what appears to have been a Russian or Chinese intelligence gathering operation.

See, "Obama computers 'hacked during election campaign'," Time Online, November 7, 2008, at http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/us_elections/article5105027.ece.
