The U.S. is calling out Russia for a "dramatic rise" in cyber espionage against America. It's part of a veiled threat to the Kremlin: We know what you're doing online. Ever since the U.S. government hit Russia with economic sanctions last year, Russian hackers have started new cyberspying campaigns to steal information from U.S. government agencies and corporations, according to current and former American intelligence officials and cybersecurity experts. Now, American officials are fighting back—by outing the hackers and issuing what some see as veiled threats to Moscow.

    If you think Obama was the first, or even tenth president to do that, I have news for you. [nsa.gov]

    Should you not like the source you can always check out the critical book The Puzzle Palace. Just that organization started in 1952 and it was not the first.
