Cyber criminals have hacked into a White House computer system holding the personal details of thousands of Americans, it has been revealed.
The U.S. Senate Commerce Committee has written an urgent letter to President Barack Obama after the embarrassing security leak was revealed.
Visitors to the White House have to submit their personal details to pass security checks. It is understood that some of this data may have been compromised in the security breach.
A White House National Security Council spokesman has declined to comment on the letter. I’m sure someone will be held accountable for this.
