WASHINGTON (CNN) -- U.S. government Web sites -- including those of the White House and the State Department -- have been under attack since the Fourth of July, along with financial and commercial sites like Yahoo Finance and the New York Stock Exchange, cybersecurity experts said Wednesday.
Government and private Web sites were recently hit in a cyberattack.
Government and private Web sites were recently hit in a cyberattack.
The Department of Homeland Security, which is one of the targets, according to a security expert, confirmed that the attacks were taking place.
Web sites in South Korea, including the president's, were targets of the same attack, said Jose Nazario, manager of security research at Arbor Networks in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
The Washington Post said it, too, had been attacked.
There is some indication that the attack comes from China, Nazario said, but he added that he could not be certain of the origin. Even if it is coming from China, it would be difficult to determine whether officials or individual hackers were responsible.
