WASHINGTON - The group of Russian hackers accused of meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election earlier this year targeted the email accounts of Democratic state parties in California and Indiana, and influential think tanks in Washington and New York, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

Fancy Bear is controlled by Russia’s military intelligence agency and was responsible for hacking the email accounts of Hillary Clinton’s staff in the run-up to the 2016 election, according to a Department of Justice indictment filed in 2018.by Microsoft that Fancy Bear had attempted to hack more than 200 organizations, many of which the software company said were tied to the 2020 election.

The targeting of Democrats in Indiana and California - confirmed by four people familiar with the matter - suggests that the Russians are “casting their net wide,” said Don Smith of cybersecurity company Secureworks.

anneapplebaum We need to be ready with clear credible threat of a strike to ward off SCOTUS theft of an Election victory . (The symbol of a strike in Poland abortion battle is red lightning . Maybe we use the same . ) Somebody write an op ed.

anneapplebaum this looks like a magic eye of green binary tits

This is why Trump NEVER pushed for laws or any punishment towards Russia because they attack Dems. His buddy Putin has free reign to hack US interests.

Those Russia hackers are at it again... Thank goodness for the brave Americans who are stopping them from sharing hilarious memes on Facebook..

Lol. Nobody believes the “ Russian” narrative anymore. The CCP is the 1 threat worldwide. If you weren’t so heavily compromised, you’d report on that.

Did they discover new basements like Hillary's in the previous election?

Insanity!!!

I don’t thinks so, Russia support TheDemocrats

Putin helps his serf

Russian group nicknamed “fancy bear”?

GO MICROSOFT !!!

That name rings a bell.

It's the Russians fault that the dems don't offer anything besides orange man bad.

Ok. But why post a pic of lop sided boobs?

fancy bear back for more huh?

Those pesky Russians. At it again. Giving Biden all that money. Giving his son all that crack and hookers.

Hey realDonaldTrump stop interfering in your election! TrumpCrimeSyndicate

An 'indented chad': An absolute indicator that that person voted for a person by the mark made! So Very Many People in 2000 were simply robbed of their hard-worked-for vote: 'That chad not being pushed all the way through the card'! Rep.-Attnys robbed those peoples' votes, 2000.

Friends of Hunter Biden ? WheresHunter

I see the boobs in this picture. Doctor?

Trying to hedge their bets I'd guess. They r not the problem, not this election at least. trump is out & Biden is in! Worried about losing their 'dupe'.

When I lived in the US, my friend Robert McKenzie said: 'I'm sure Russia attacked the servers of the Democratic Party in 2016!' I asked, 'Why are you sure?' Robert replied: 'There is no one else. Russia is a country of evil!'

And they waited until NOW to tell everyone ? Nah 🙄🙄

Oh those russians

It's funny that the GRU and Russian hackers never seem to target the GOP. How lucky can one party be

To help them of course

Oy Vey Russia is naughty

this is terrible news

US “the greatest country in the world” can’t even stop some measly punks.

Probably trying to find more of their child p0rn to extort them with later.

'In the time of the end, many will run to and fro'...The USA... modern-day Babylon!
