Justice department recently indicted two russian intelligence agents and two hackers accused of stealing private information from millions of americans after hacking into yahoo accounts. It would be pure speculation. These people are innocent people now. Theyre innocent now until they are Proven Guilty in the court of law. Also, some consulate employees were among three dozen russians nationwide who were suddenly expelled at the end of 2016. The Obama Administration said it was in retaliation for russian efforts to interfere with the u. S. President ial election through cyber attacks.
