The U.S. Justice Department said yesterday that 12 Russian intelligence officers were indicted on charges they hacked into Democratic email accounts during the 2016 presidential election and released stolen information in the months before Americans headed to the polls, the Newser website reports today (July 14, 2018).
The indictment is the clearest allegation yet on Russian efforts to meddle in American politics.
The indictment lays out a coordinated effort to break into key Democratic email accounts, including those belonging to the Democratic National Committee, the Clinton campaign, and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
The hackers were members of an intelligence agency in the Russian military.
