Trumps cyber comrades settling more scores for the boss

FBI now investigating Russian hack of New York Times reporters, others. Don't be on Trumps black list...

(CNN)Hackers thought to be working for Russian intelligence have carried out a series of cyber breaches targeting reporters at the New York Times and other US news organizations, according to US officials briefed on the matter.

The intrusions, detected in recent months, are under investigation by the FBI and other US security agencies. Investigators so far believe that Russian intelligence is likely behind the attacks and that Russian hackers are targeting news organizations as part of a broader series of hacks that also have focused on Democratic Party organizations, the officials said.
The FBI declined to comment and a spokesperson for The New York Times would not confirm the attacks or the investigation.
"Like most news organizations we are vigilant about guarding against attempts to hack into our systems," said New York Times Co. spokeswoman Eileen Murphy. "There are a variety of approaches we take up to and including working with outside investigators and law enforcement. We won't comment on any specific attempt to gain unauthorized access to The Times."

The FBI now knows that New York Times is a victim of espionage. After the Russians get finished doctoring the documents, we can expect Wikileaks to dump what might seem beneficial to Trump.

It's becoming a wonderful country. Putin, Assange and Trump want to rig the election. Trump has been saying the election will be rigged.

However, I believe that the public will reject all three of them in November - Putin, Assange and Trump.

So many insidious aspects of Trump's campaign seem to get by without question or a blip of accountability.
