The State Department on Sunday became the fourth government agency to announce a breach of its computer systems in recent weeks, after an infiltration forced the agency to temporarily shut down its unclassified email system and public websites.
The breach, which the agency said did not affect any of its classified systems, follows a similar one involving the unclassified computer systems of the White House last month, which also resulted in a temporary shutdown of its communications systems. There have been similar breaches at the United States Postal Service and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

They haven't tracked the who on this, although they did say it seems this latest attack on the State Department comes from Russia. Prior to that, China. But then.. we know how hackers are - so who knows where they are really located.
It looks like someone is probing... I do wonder what for?,
