Websites inside Russia had been hacked, too, and Mr. Holden said he saw no connection between the hackers and the Russian government.

Relax. Utterly inconceivable that an NSC account could be hacked in a ham-fisted attempt by the Russian government to promote their influence abroad. Could never happen, Comrade.

Nothing more than what the NSA are doing , read somewhere a few days ago that the US government have asked for all of Microsoft's customers e-mail details .

significant confusions there. the article is concerning a warrant from the FBI, not the US government directly, for information held by Microsoft in servers abroad. Microsoft lost but the verdict is suspended appeal. what ever the view of the request, this is the proper way to go about it, with judicial oversight. What the NSA/GCHQ do is hoover up data under the radar, with warrants and any oversight.
