Washington partly confirms Chinese hack attack on White House computer

Fox says in its first line:

"White House sources partly confirmed an alarming report that U.S. government computers -- reportedly including systems used by the military for nuclear commands -- were breached by Chinese hackers."

whereas the USA Today via the AP says in its first line:

"The White House is confirming an attempted cyberattack on its computer system, but said it thwarted the effort."

Considering Fox's report then goes on to say that "there was never any impact or attempted breach of any classified system", I'm going to have to say Fox is running a little wide with their headline-baiting.

I'd say it is okay to be little wide in these matters, it is better to be safe than sorry.

In reporting, you should be exact. Misleading just to be "safe" isn't safe, it's misleading. How is Fox being safe by reporting there was a major, critical breach when there was not?

Today was National Day in China. So, this sort of attack, at the very least, functions very well as propaganda fodder.

Umm, yea. Fox News.
