Washington police security was compromised by a computer hack in January

US prosecutors have charged two Romanians with hacking Washington DC police computers linked to surveillance cameras just days before President Donald Trump's inauguration.
The pair are being held in Romania, having been arrested at Bucharest Otopeni airport on 15 December.
Mihai Alexandru Isvanca, 25, and Eveline Cismaru, 28, allegedly accessed 123 outdoor surveillance cameras as part of a suspected ransomware scheme.
Mr Trump was sworn in on 20 January.

The US Department of Justice said the case was "of the highest priority" because of the security surrounding the presidential inauguration. (https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/two-romanian-suspects-charged-hacking-metropolitan-police-department-surveillance-cameras)
