| Tsar Putin’s hackers take down US newspapers Hackers believed to be working for Tsar Putin have carried out a series of cyber breaches targeting reporters at The New York Times and other US news organisations. The FBI has been looking at a number of similar intrusions and believe that Russian intelligence is likely behind the attacks. They appear to be part of a broader series of hacks that also have focused on Democratic Party organisations. US intelligence officials believe the picture emerging from the series of recent intrusions is that Russian spy agencies are using a wave of cyber-attacks, including against think-tanks in Washington, to gather intelligence from a broad array of non-governmental organizations. News organisations are considered top targets because they can yield valuable intelligence on reporter contacts in the government, as well as communications and unpublished works with sensitive information. http://www.techeye.net/news/tsar-put...-us-newspapers |
