I would like to see this corroborated somewhere other than in tweets from a fox news correspondent.

  As long as it's only Faux News and just tweets... sure, ya, sure... <eyes roll>

  I would also. Still, I stand by my other comment in this thread that much more resources need to be devoted to cybersecurity and stem education - regardless if this particular story is true or not.

  Well, there's this: https://news.yahoo.com/u-state-department-recently-hit-204040770.html https://news.yahoo.com/u-state-department-recently-hit-20404... > Without confirming any incident, a knowledgeable source told Reuters the State Department has not experienced significant disruptions and has not had its operations impeded in any way. not worth much

    This is an impressive non-answer. It provides a fair bit of reassuring detail while saying absolutely nothing of value of at all. Was there a cyber attack? Wasn’t there? Either way this answer looks better in an article than “no comment” but still admits nothing that could come back to bite you.

    Note also that the Reuters article specifically mentions that the source of their information about the breach is this exact tweet, and that they cannot independently verify. The overall Twitter feed of the Fox News reporter in question https://twitter.com/JacquiHeinrich https://twitter.com/JacquiHeinrich , while generally sticking to facts unlike some of her Fox News colleagues, nonetheless has a preponderance of tweets critical of the current administration. One should keep this in mind when deciding whether the reporter would have been incentivized to do thorough verification before choosing to share the word of an anonymous source that would paint said administration in a poor light.
