CNN (4/8/15) ran a story about “Russian hackers” getting into the White House computer system that needed to get out of the White House PR system.

The story, by Evan Perez and Shimon Prokupecz, began with:

Russian hackers behind the damaging cyber intrusion of the State Department in recent months used that perch to penetrate sensitive parts of the White House computer system, according to US officials briefed on the investigation.

The phrasing implies that the responsibility of said hackers from Russia for an earlier “cyber intrusion” is proven fact, and what the “US officials” (the main source for the news in this piece, along with “investigators”) are adding is their culpability in a second security breach.

No evidence. Another CNN win.
 
Worth asking why cyberattacks aren't taken as seriously as real-world ones. If countries knew they might get bombed in response they may not take to doing it.
