The opening of the second front

The US presidential candidate from the Democratic Party Hillary Clinton accused the Russian intelligence services of hacker attacks on the computer network of the National Committee of her party. This was reported by Reuters with reference to the interview with Clinton FoxNews, recorded on Saturday.

“We know that Russian intelligence hacked the National Committee’s network and that Moscow is preparing to publish many emails (stolen from hacked computers. - Ed.),” The presidential candidate said.

Clinton also noted that her rival in the elections from the Republican Party Donald Trump "demonstrates a frightening readiness to support Putin."

The explanatory question of the journalist, whether Clinton believes that Putin is interested in the victory of Trump in the elections, the Democrats candidate replied that she did not mean this. “But I think,” she added, “that the totality of facts makes us seriously think about the influence of Russia on our elections, on our democracy.”

The United States, Clinton noticed, would not suffer such a single country - all the more unfriendly.

“I think that the indulgence of this from Trump, like his praise Putin, with obvious intentional efforts to influence our elections, affect national security issues,” the presidential candidate concluded.

Last week, Trump said that he would like Russia to find thousands of emails who disappeared from the computers of the State Department when Clinton headed it. "Russia, if you hear: I hope you can find these 30 thousand lost letters," said the candidate from the Republicans. Security experts expressed their concern to Trump's statement; The candidate was accused of inciting foreign states to monitor the Americans. After that, Trump explained that his replica was "sarcastic."

The other day, The New York Times reported with reference to American law enforcement officers that Russian intelligence services are behind the last attack on the network of the National Committee of the Democratic Party. It was also argued that this attack is associated with several previous ones. According to the FBI, it was organized by hackers from the Fancy Bear group, behind which there is GRU.

It was noted that this is the third attack on the server of American Democrats in a week. On July 22, the WikiLeaks website published electronic correspondence of the party functionaries, from which it followed that the National Committee, despite the declared neutrality, preferred Clinton during the primaries. On July 29, information appeared about the possible hacking of the databases of the party committee on the election to Congress.

On July 26, the press secretary of Vladimir Putin Dmitry Peskov called these assumptions absurd. “In general, we are still watching attempts to manually use the Russian topic during the electoral campaign in the United States,” he said. “These absurd news were immediately refuted by the family of a famous presidential candidate.”

In June, The Washington Post reported a few more attacks on the network of the Democratic Party undertaken by groups that are associated with Russian special services. The first computers of the network were attacked in the summer of last year, the COZY Bear group. Hackers were able to read the correspondence that the party functionaries lead by e -mail and in messengers. The second attack was undertaken in April of this year by the Fancy Bear group. Its members gained access to a database for a study on Trump.
