BURNETT: Breaking news: the White House has detected suspicious cyber activity on its own computer network. White House officials scrambling tonight to figure out who is responsible. Jim Acosta is at the White House. And, Jim, this is just a late-breaking headline here. But, obviously, this is something that's very concerning and pretty scary for the White House.</s>JIM ACOSTA, CNN SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT: Absolutely, Erin. You know, we should point out that the White House is not calling this a hacking. But in recent days, they were picking up on threats to the computer network here at the White House, and in assessing the threats they're picking up what they call an activity of concern on the unclassified network that serves the executive office of the president. In doing that, Erin, what they did is they had to take some of the computer networks down for a while here at the White House. So, there were some employers here who could not use their computer for sometime while this investigation was under way. We should point out, though, this investigation is ongoing. At this point, they have not been able to determine who was responsible for all of this, and when asked earlier this evening, who is responsible or who did this, they just wouldn't say. And as for a time frame, we should point out this may have happened at recent as Friday. I was here at the White House on Friday, and I can tell you that there were some employees here at the White House saying that their computer was down. So, a lot of questions and hopefully, we'll get some answers on this soon. But definitely, very interesting and something that doesn't happen very often, Erin.</s>BURNETT: No. And as Jim pointing out, when they thought the computer system is not working, it was something people actually noticed, which perhaps it is even more significant.</s>ACOSTA: Absolutely.</s>BURNETT: All right. Jim, thank you very much. We're going to take a break. Anderson will be on the other side.
