The administration of Barack Obama for the first time officially accused Russia of hacker attacks and hacking email. As stated in the US Intelligence Community, the goal of the planned attacks was to disrupt the US electoral process.

“We are confident that all recent attacks on government organizations and parties, as well as email hacks, were initiated by the Russian government,” the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement.

The statement also refers to the Kremlin’s connection to hacking email and publishing confidential correspondence on DCLeaks, WikiLeaks and Guccifer 2.0. However, in the Department of Homeland Security stressed that attacks can not affect the course of presidential elections in the United States.

“It is very difficult for any one person, or even an entire country, to try to influence the counting of votes or the voting process itself through cyber attacks,” administration officials say.
