U.S. intelligence officials think hackers working for Russia are behind a series of alleged intrusions targeting reporters at The New York Times and other media outlets. The FBI and other law enforcement agencies believe Russian intelligence perpetrated the hacks in what appears to be an ongoing string of attacks targeting U.S. government agencies. CNN has reached out to Google, to which the Times has outsourced its reporter email services, as of this writing, neither Google nor the FBI has issued a comment. If Russia did indeed hack the DNC, this could be yet another retaliatory move for the accusations.
