On Friday, the American authorities for the first time directly accused Moscow of holding a large -scale campaign in order to influence the 2016 elections, including by hacker attacks on computers of the National Committee of the Democratic Party and other political figures.

Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov called the "nonsense" accusations against the Russian leadership of involvement in hacker attacks on the servers of American organizations. "This is again some kind of nonsense! Several tens of thousands of hackers are attacked on Putin’s website daily. Many attacks can be traced from the United States. We do not blame the White House or Langley each time," Peskov said.

The Chairman of the Senate of the US Senate for International Cybersecurity Kory Gardner proposed introducing new sanctions against Russia after the statement of American intelligence on the involvement of the Russian authorities in intentional cyber attacks. “I plan to introduce a bill prescribing to the administrations to impose sanctions against bad Russian figures who are responsible for malicious cyberism,” Gardner said. “Russia's intervention in American democracy poses a direct threat to our political process, and this can only be the tip of the iceberg. It is extremely important that Russia meets in the form of strict sanctions. We must show that we should show that we should show that we should show that we should show that we should show that we We will not tolerate cybercrimination. "
