NBC NEWS: CHINA HAS BEEN READING PRIVATE EMAIL ACCOUNTS OF "MANY" TOP US OFFICIALS SINCE 2010

No word yet on whether this includes Hillary, but she is a top US official, and she did of course use private email.

And her private email was stuffed to the gills with sensitive information, some if later classified.

Let's elect her President so she can do some real damage.

China's cyber spies have accessed the private emails of "many" top Obama administration officials, according to a senior U.S. intelligence official and a top secret document obtained by NBC News, and have been doing so since at least April 2010.

The email grab -- first codenamed "Dancing Panda" by U.S. officials, and then "Legion Amethyst" -- was detected in April 2010, according to a top secret NSA briefing from 2014. The intrusion into personal emails was still active at the time of the briefing and, according to the senior official, is still going on.

In 2011, Google disclosed that the private gmail accounts of some U.S. officials had been compromised, but the briefing shows that private email accounts from other providers were compromised as well.

The government email accounts assigned to the officials, however, were not hacked because they are more secure, says the senior U.S. intelligence official.

The senior official says the private emails of "all top national security and trade officials" were targeted.

Sources have not yet revealed whose emails, in particular, were hacked.
