Reached for comment by Raw Story, a CIA public affairs officer had no comment, but did note that the agency was “experiencing some problems with the servers.” A press officer also had no comment, and said that the website being down was “news to me.” A third request for comment, filed with another press officer, went without any reply.
Russia Today was the first organization to report the alleged hack.
