Russian hackers suspected of attacking the Clinton Family Foundation

Hacking was discovered by government investigators last week, the report said. The representative of the fund told Bloomberg that the organization did not see any signs of security breaches in its computer networks.

Messages appeared at a time when the likely presidential candidate from the Democratic Party, Hillary Clinton, continues to fend off the charges that, using her personal e-mail server for official correspondence while she was working as state secretary, she created an opportunity to intercept secret information by hackers.

Hacker or group of hackers calling themselves Guccifer 2.0 on Tuesday published a new batch of documents allegedly stolen from computers of the National Committee of the Democratic Party. Among these documents, they claim, is a list of donors who made generous donations to the Clinton Family Foundation.

Even before the appearance of last week of information about the hacking of computers of the National Committee, representatives of the US authorities informed both political parties and the headquarters of presidential candidates Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders that hackers are targeting their networks. This was reported by a source Bloomberg, familiar with the government investigation.

According to another source, the attacks were part of a wider campaign against more than 4 thousands of people associated with American politics - lobbyists, advisers, and party officials. According to some reports, the US Secret Service, the FBI and the National Security Agency have been involved in an investigation into the theft of data from both parties and individuals over the past few months.
