FBI suspects Russian and Chinese hackers in hacking Clinton mail

FBI investigators from among cyberspace security experts will try to find out if hackers from Russia, China or other countries have received unauthorized access to the mail and have not tried to forward any of Clinton's emails, including those that contained classified information.

Employees of the US Federal Bureau of Investigation do not rule out that cyber attacks aimed at stealing information from Hillary Clinton’s personal mail could have taken place from 2009 to 2013 the year she headed the US Department of State.

In March last year, as secretary of state, Clinton conducted electronic correspondence using a personal mailbox, rather than an official one. This caused a scandal in Washington and allowed the Republican opposition to accuse it of a serious violation of the rules of internal security.

Earlier this week, current US Foreign Secretary John Kerry, in an interview with CBS, did not rule out that hackers from Russia and China are also reading his email. "It's not outside the realm of possibility, and we know that they have been carrying out attacks against some American interests over the last several days," Kerry said. “It is quite possible, and I certainly write letters knowing all this,” he added.
