The Clinton Foundation has added its name to the list of major US political organisations that have been breached by Russian hackers in a large-scale operation being enacted ahead of the 2016 elections.
Three people “familiar with the matter” told Bloomberg that a breach at the foundation had been spotted by government investigators last week, following analysis of the command and control servers used by the hackers running the attacks. The foundation is a controversial organisation, viewed by those aginst Clinton as a corrupt means of swaying power in politics – meaning that potentially embarassing information from within the organisation could me made public and accordingly used to attack Clinton throughout the campaign.
