Obama Boasts of Telling Russia Not to Hack Us Despite the Fact that They Did

OBAMA: “What we can also do is to on a bilateral basis warn other countries against these kinds of attacks and we’ve done that in the past. So, just as I told Russia to stop it and indicated there will be consequences when they do it, the Chinese have in the past engaged in cyberattacks directed at our companies to steal trade secrets and proprietary technology and I had to have the same conversation with prime minister — with President Xi, and what we’ve seen is some evidence that they have reduced but not completely eliminated these activities.”
