According to a new investigation from Bloomberg, cyber spies connected to the Russian government recently hacked into the Republican National Committee — though the RNC has denied that their systems were breached in this way.
According to Bloomberg, the hacker group known as “Cosy Bear” — thought to be connected to Russia’s intelligence service, the SVR — conducted the intrusion, though it’s not clear what they viewed or whether they stole any data. The hackers are believed to have gained entry to the RNC’s networks through one of its IT providers, a company called Synnex Corp.
