The FBI became interested in the leakage of documents of the National Committee of the Democratic Party of the United States

The US Federal Bureau (FBI) of the United States is investigating the nature and scale of leakage from the hacked e-mail of the National Committee of the Democratic Party of the United States (NKDP), the press service of the department, which cites on Monday, July 25, the CBS television channel said.

"We relate to the disclosure of this information very seriously, the FBI will continue the investigation and bring to justice those who are threatening in cyberspace," the statement said.

Hackers working for Russia are suspected of hacking, and this hack, according to officials, is only part of the wave of cybercs aimed at political organizations and analytical centers in Washington, CNN reports.

The press secretary of the election headquarters of the US presidential candidate from the Democrats Hillary Clinton Brian Fallon summed up on Monday: "Experts agree that Russia is behind this hacking." However, answering the question of the TASS correspondent on the sidelines of the national congress of the Democratic Party in Philadelphia (Pennsylvania), he made it clear that the headquarters did not intend to release data that could confirm the reliability of these statements.

"I think we will provide an opportunity to do this (to publish information. - Note Newsru.com ) to independent specialists who have already prepared their assessment," Fallon said.

He recalled that this independent assessment was carried out by the American company Crowdstrike, which is operating in the field of information technology, led by Sean Henry, "former chief expert of the FBI in cybersecurity."

“This was the conclusion of this independent review - that the work of Russians really was there. And all that I have seen in two months that have passed since the publication for the first time that assessment confirms and reinforces it,” Klinton, representative of the headquarters, added.

The head of the election headquarters of the Republican candidate Donald Trump Paul Manafort described the accusations of the Clinton headquarters as "absurd", and Trump on his Twitter called them a joke.

"A new joke in the city that Russia had a leak of ill -fated letters from the post of the National Committee of the Democratic Party, which simply did not need to write (stupidity), because Putin loves me."

One of the first about the attacks of the hackers was the newspaper The Washington Post. According to her, the leaders of the Democratic Party immediately contacted Crowdstrike, specializing in the field of security, which took up the investigation of the incident. The co -founder and technical director of Crowdstrike Dmitry Alperovich, in a conversation with journalists, said that his employees managed to determine two hacker groups that penetrated the computer network of the National Committee, Cozy Bear and Fancy Bear. According to Alperovich, these groups are apparently not related to each other: Fancy Bear is probably working on GRU, and Cozy Bear, presumably, to the FSB.

The press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov said on June 14 that Moscow has nothing to do with this. "I completely exclude the possibility that the government or government institutions were connected with this," he said.

Meanwhile, the head of the NKDP Debbie Wasserman-Shulz is going to resign at the end of the pre-election congress of the Democrats after the scandal with a leak.
